| Part of the wave of creative and original television programs known as the “Chicago School of Television,” Studs’ Place was broadcast live on NBC in 1950 and ABC in 1951. The cast included Studs Terkel as the proprietor, Studs; Beverly Younger as Grace, the waitress; and Win Stracke and Chet Roble as Win and Chet. There was no written script, with all dialogue improvised by the cast, with regular musical performances by Stracke and Roble.

There are now 14 known episodes of Studs’ Place that have survived. Watch seven of them at Media Burn Archive.
On December 10, 1950, TV-Radio Editor Larry Wolters presented this review in the Chicago Daily Tribune: |
