The Clear Horizon

The Clear Horizon

"The Clear Horizon" is a soap opera which ran on CBS Daytime-TV from July 11, 1960 to March 10, 1961 and from February 26, 1962 to June 11, 1962. The show was created and also written by Manya Starr.

"The Clear Horizon" (titled "The Army Wife" in the pre-production phase) revolved around the problems of astronauts and their wives at Cape Canaveral, Florida. In the first episode, Roy Selby (Edward Kemmer) was moved from his post in Alaska to The Pentagon, which gave him a new commission in Florida. Roy and his wife Anne (Phyllis Avery) tried to adjust to their new lives, with Anne feeling attraction to another man. Along with the unique theme, the series was among the first daytime dramas to air from California and to shoot location footage.

Presented live in its initial run, "The Clear Horizon" was canceled for nearly a year. When the show returned in February 1962, the series was taped. In the new series, Anne dealt with life on her own while Roy was trapped behind enemy lines. Low ratings (the 1961-1962 ratings were 3.5, putting the program at the bottom of the daytime drama list) ensured the series' permanent cancellation in March 1962. At series end, Anne and Roy were reunited.

Charles Pollacheck produced and Joseph Behar and Hal Cooper directed. Cast members who would go on to fame after "The Clear Horizon" 's demise included Lee Meriwether, Ted Knight, and future daytime stars William Roerick (Colonel Theodore Adams) and Denise Alexander (Lois Adams).

The title over the opening and closing credits was the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, accompanied by a piano theme by Kip Walton. Bern Bennett was the announcer, he would later be the first announcer for the soap opera, The Young and the Restless. [http://members.fortunecity.com/drjtv/cbs2.html]
