Colgate Theatre is a 30-minute dramatic television anthology series telecast on NBC in 1949 and 1958 for a total of 50 episodes. The first edition, a live anthology, was telecast on Sunday nights at 8:30pm(et) through the summer of 1950. The second series [Tuesdays, 9:30pm(et)] consisted of filmed pilot episodes of unsold series, and was a last-minute replacement for the game show Dotto, which was literally yanked off the air in August 1958, due to accusations that it was rigged. It served as a stop gap for the sponsor until The George Burns Show premiered on October 14, 1958.
