The Clock - "Star Crossed Lovers" (04-13-47)

 Star Crossed Lovers (Aired April 13, 1947)

The unique programming wrinkle that ABC was apparently attempting to promote with The Clock was a mix  of the traditional crime drama and the supernatural dramas of the previous fifteen years. One or the other of the two genres had been traditionally popular formats throughout the Golden Age of Radio era. To its credit, ABC gave The Clock all the time it needed to create an audience. It kept the series in pretty much the same timeslot throughout its seventy-eight episode run, maintained reasonably high standards of talent--both in front of and behind, the mike--and simply waited to see what developed.
