HOLLYWOOD THEATER
Comedies and light romances were typical episodes for Stars over Hollywood. The presentations were "casual and relaxed ... but the performances were very professional." Each of the program's scripts was original.

The show's success surprised many doubters, who thought that audiences would not listen to this type of broadcast on Saturday, a day that has been described as "the ghetto of the schedule." The program lasted 13 years at the same time (12:30 p.m., Eastern Time). Following the lead of Stars over Hollywood, other dramas, such as Armstrong Theatre of Today and Grand Central Station, found success on Saturdays.
