About Colgate Theatre
A 1958 American anthology television series broadcast on NBC, composed entirely of unsold television pilots. Created as a summer replacement program, the series repackaged unaired pilots originally produced for proposed television shows, presenting them as standalone dramatic episodes. Hosted by Bill Goodwin, the series served as filler programming following the cancellation of the quiz show Dotto and ran for eight consecutive weeks. Notable episodes included Orson Welles’s The Fountain of Youth, which won a Peabody Award and became one of the most celebrated television productions of the era.
