description Danger Overview
Danger was an American live television anthology series broadcast by CBS from 1950 to 1955. Produced in New York during the formative years of network television, it presented self-contained suspense, crime, and psychological drama stories rather than a continuing cast or plot. Its live format required each episode to be staged and transmitted in real time, making the series an example of early television production practices and anthology writing.
