Gruen Playhouse (also known as Gruen Guild Playhouse) is a dramatic anthology series that aired on ABC and the now-defunct DuMont Television Network.

Sponsored by the Gruen Watch Company, the series aired on ABC on Thursdays at 9:30pm ET, and on DuMont on Thursdays at 9pm ET. From January to March 1952, Gruen Playhouse alternated with Shadow of the Cloak on DuMont.

The 30-minute dramas featured actors such as Carolyn Jones (in her TV debut), Raymond Burr (in his TV debut), and Bonita Granville.[1][2] An early episode was written by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.

Episode status

Two DuMont episodes are held in the collection of the UCLA Film and Television Archive, along with a single ABC episode.
