Modern Homemakers

Modern Homemakers

Modern Homemakers was the world's second color television series, making its debut on June 27, 1951, on five stations of the CBS television network in the eastern United States. This half-hour daytime program was hosted from New York by home economist Edalene Stohr, and broadcast Monday through Friday. The first color television series, The World Is Yours, began the previous day, June 26, 1951.

Modern Homemakers, like other CBS color programs from 1951, was broadcast in the CBS field sequential color system that was incompatible with existing black and white television sets, on which no picture would be visible. Only a small number of prototype color television sets existed on which the program could be seen. It was last broadcast on August 17, 1951, a month before the first commercially manufactured CBS color television sets were made.
