''The Millionaire'' is an American anthology series that aired on CBS from January 19, 1955, to June 7, 1960, originally sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive. The series explored the ways sudden and unexpected wealth changed life for better or for worse and became a five-season hit during the Golden Age of Television, finishing in the Nielsen ratings at #9 for the 1955-1956 season, #13 in 1956-1957, #17 in 1957-1958 and #30 in 1958-1959.〔http://www.classictvhits.com/tvratings/index.htm〕 It told the stories of people who were given one million dollars〔One million dollars in 1955 had the same buying power as 8.45 million dollars had in 2011 (per http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm).〕 from a benefactor who insisted they never know him, with one exception. The series was known in syndication by two titles—''The Millionaire'', and as ''If You Had a Million''.
The 1932 film ''If I Had A Million'' had a similar plot to this TV show.
==The benefactor==
The benefactor was named John Beresford Tipton, Jr. Viewers heard his voice, making observations and giving instructions; they saw only his arm as he reached for a cashier's check for one million dollars each week and handed it to Michael Anthony, his executive secretary. It was Anthony's job to deliver that check to its intended recipient.
