Kraft Suspense Theatre
The Kraft Suspense Theatre is an American television anthology series that was produced and broadcast from 1963 to 1965 on NBC. Sponsored by Kraft Foods, it was seen three weeks out of every four and was pre-empted for Perry Como's "Kraft Music Hall" specials once monthly. Como's production company, Roncom Films, also produced "Kraft Suspense Theatre." (The company name, "Roncom Films" stood for "RONnie COMo," Perry's son, who was in his early twenties
1958, Kraft sold the rights to David Susskind's Talent Associates, which revamped the series as Kraft Mystery Theatre. Under that title, it continued until September 1958. However, this eventually evolved into the 1963 filmed series "Kraft Suspense Theatre", which concentrated exclusively on original dramas written for television, not on adaptations.
Between 1947 and 1958, the "Kraft Television Theatre" presented more than 650 comedies and dramas. The series finished #14 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1950-1951 season, #23
