SYNOPSIS

Baritone Earl Wrightson was a familiar face in early TV days. He appeared on his own 15-minute program of songs on both ABC and CBS. Earl's forte was Broadway show tunes and music from operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore and The Student Prince. He performed these tunes in program segments called "Spotlight on Showtime" and "Masland Showtime," which frequently featured guest stars.

The title of the series changed many times from the original title The Earl Wrightson Show to Earl Wrightson at Home (September of 1949), At Home (October 1949), At Home Show (September 1950), and finally, in honor of the sponsor, Masland At Home Party (August 1951).
