Welcome to the Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse guide at TV Tome. This site is currently under construction.

Westinghouse just lost their long running anthology show Studio One, and was anxious to continue in the prime Monday time slot AND with high ratings promised by previous Lucy-Desi efforts. Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse was the result. The first show
