:''For the 1950-51 DuMont TV series, see Star Time (TV series). For other TV series sponsored by Ford Motor Company, see Ford Television Theatre, Ford Festival, The Ford Show, and Ford Star Jubilee.'' ''Startime'' is an anthology show of drama, comedy, and variety, and was one of the first American television shows broadcast in color. The program was aired Tuesday nights in the United States on the NBC Television network in the 1959-60 television season. ==Summary== The show was known as either Ford Startime—TV's Finest Hour or Lincoln–Mercury Startime, depending on which division of the Ford Motor Company was presenting commercials within that show. The contents varied from week to week — dramas, musical comedies, and variety shows were all presented.〔Tim Brooks and Earl March, ''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows: 1946–Present'' (Random House, 2007) ISBN 0-345-45542-8 p. 976〕 The show was always broadcast on Tuesday nights. Initially, from the premiere through the end of 1959, the show was broadcast 9:30–10:30 PM (EST) -- but, starting on January 5, 1960, the show was broadcast 8:30–9:30 PM (EST). Furthermore, some of the shows first broadcast in 1959 were ninety minutes long, continuing to 11 PM. Some of the presentations of this series might be considered tryouts—for example, Dean Martin hosted two variety episodes within this series, several years before he began his own successful variety show. The same is true for Mitch Miller, and, to a lesser extent, Art Linkletter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Startime (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
