Line 37: Some of the early scripts were adapted from ''Suspense'' radio scripts, while others were original for television. Like the radio program, many scripts were adaptations of literary classics by well known authors. Classic authors such as [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[Agatha Christie]], and [[Charles Dickens]] all had stories adapted for the series, while contemporary authors such as [[Roald Dahl]] and [[Gore Vidal]] also contributed. Many notable actors appeared on the program, including [[Boris Karloff]], [[Franchot Tone]], [[Robert Emhardt]], [[Leslie Nielsen]], [[Lloyd Bridges]], and many more. ==Preservation status== ~~==Sources==~~ Because the series was a [[live television]] series, most episodes were recorded on [[kinescope]]s. However, the Suspense TV website says that only about 90 of the 260 episodes survive today.<ref>[http://www.suspensetelevision.com/introduction.html Suspense TV: An Introduction to the Show]</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041061/ ''Suspense'' at IMDB] [http://www.suspensetelevision.com/introduction.html Suspense TV: An Introduction to the Show] [http://www.archive.org/details/SUSPENSE_156 ''Suspense'' episode "Woman in Love" (August 26, 1952) at archive.org]
