Director Sidney Lumet, who died late last week at age 86, is being justifiably saluted for his film work - including "Network," a 1976 satire (and sadly, preview) of television written by Paddy Chayefsky.
He's also been commended for his television work during the 1950s and 60s, when he was cutting his teeth on live television dramas on programs such as "Playhouse 90," "You Are There" with Walter Cronkite and "Studio One."
Alas, as was mentioned recently in another context, little of this work is available for public sale so far. Fortunately, Lumet was interviewed by the Archive of American Television and described much of his TV work. Here's the link:

So long to one of the greats.
