The Clock 1949

Overview

The Clock is an American anthology television series that premiered in 1949 and ran until 1952. Each 30‑minute episode presented an original drama, often centered on themes of murder, mayhem, or insanity, and incorporated a clock as a key element of the story’s plot. The series was adapted from an American Broadcasting Company radio program that had aired from 1946 to 1948. Larry Semon served as the series narrator and was the only regular cast member, while every installment featured a new group of guest stars. The program’s musical theme was the piece titled “The Sands of Time.” Over its run, The Clock produced ninety‑one episodes; the majority were broadcast on NBC, with the final season moving to ABC. The show’s format and recurring clock motif distinguished it within the early era of televised anthology drama.
