On November 3, 1946, The Clock started its broadcast history from New York. It seems
there was no set cast for this anthology series until March 4, 1948 when the show moved to
Hollywood. At that point, Cathy and Elliot Lewis and Jeannette Nolan take the starring roles,
with William Conrad as the announcer Father Time. William Speir takes the reins as
director, having just left a long stint as producer/director of Suspense. The show left
the air after the broadcast of May 23, 1948.
The three lists are:
The Bold titles are the titles based on Jerry Haendiges' log for The Clock.
I've settled on his list to be basis for episode names and have listed the alternate titles
under these.
