The Experiment is a television play produced for the CBS Playhouse series. Broadcast in 1969, it starred Michael Douglas (credited as "M. K. Douglas") as a young scientist who puts aside his liberal principles to work for a cutting-edge chemical company.[1]

The Experiment was broadcast in February 1969, and holds the distinction of being both Michael Douglas's first television role as well as the only CBS Playhouse installment to be written by a woman, Ellen M. Violett,[2] which earned her an Emmy award nomination.[3]
