Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse
''Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse'' is an American television anthology series produced by Desilu Productions. The show ran on CBS television between 1958 and 1960. Two of its 48 episodes served as pilots for the 1950s television series ''The Twilight Zone'' and ''The Untouchables''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse )〕
==History==
Between 1951 and 1957, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball starred in and produced (via their Desilu production company) the popular ''I Love Lucy'' show. In early 1958, Desi Arnaz convinced CBS to purchase ''Desilu Playhouse'' with the promise that a bi-monthly ''Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show'' (later rebroadcast as ''The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour'') would be among the dramas, comedies and musicals planned for the show. Westinghouse paid a then-record $12 million to sponsor the show, which resulted in the cancellation of the prestigious anthology series ''Studio One'', also sponsored by Westinghouse.
The show debuted on Monday nights in the 10:00–11:00 pm () time slot on October 6, 1958, hosted by Desi Arnaz, with Betty Furness continuing as the Westinghouse spokesperson (as she had been on ''Studio One''). The first show was "Lucy Goes to Mexico," a Lucy-Desi Hour with guest star Maurice Chevalier. The dramatic "Bernadette" (a biography of Saint Bernadette), starring Pier Angeli, premiered in week two.〔 Later shows included comedies, dramas and musicals, and various one-off comedies and dramas starring Lucille Ball in non-"Lucy" character performances.〔
In October 1959, the show moved to Friday nights from 9:00–10:00 pm (). The show lasted only one more year, due to an inability to attract big guest stars, the growing popularity of westerns and police shows (it was opposite ABC's highly rated ''77 Sunset Strip'' that season), and the Arnaz-Ball divorce in 1960. Just prior to their marital breakup, Ball and Arnaz, along with Vivian Vance, William Frawley, and Little Ricky, filmed the last ''Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show'', entitled "Lucy Meets The Moustache" and featuring guest stars Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams. This last hour-long installment of the ''I Love Lucy'' format and characters was broadcast on April 1, 1960. The final telecast of ''The Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse'', "Murder is a Private Affair", aired on June 10, 1960.〔
