The Johns Hopkins Science Review was a critically acclaimed television series which aired from December 31, 1948 to between 1953 and 1955 depending on the source. McNeil (1996) states the program aired until April 20, 1953.^[1] Brooks and Marsh (1985) state the program ended its run on September 2, 1954.^[2]

The series consisted of documentaries on science and included guests like Wernher von Braun. Each half-hour episode was broadcast from WAAM in Baltimore. The series originally aired on CBS, but moved to the DuMont Television Network in October 1950.^[2] The series would win the network a Peabody Award in the Education category in 1952.^[1]

A spin-off program, Johns Hopkins File 7, aired on a syndicated basis from 1956 to 1958. Like the Review, File 7 was produced at WAAM and featured host Lynn Poole.^[2]

Episode status

At least three episodes survive at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. One of these episodes, which features Wernher von Braun, can be seen online at a website called TV4U. It has since been confirmed that 186 episodes of the show are stored at the university which funded the program ^[3]. This means it has the most surviving telecasts of any DuMont Network program.
