The Wizard of Oz is a 1950 half-hour television adaptation with puppets of L. Frank Baum's famous 1900 novel, directed by Burr Tillstrom, best known for creating the TV show Kukla, Fran and Ollie.[1][2]
It was telecast live on May 22, 1950, by NBC.[3] A print of the show is preserved in 16 mm.[3] It is not to be confused with the 1939 full-length classic MGM film starring Judy Garland, which was first telecast by CBS in 1956.
