Big Top moved to Saturday afternoon in January 1951 on CBS for seven years.

Beulah was the first sitcom to star a black woman. In the originally radio run, she was performed by a male actor, Marlin Hurt. Beulah first came to TV in 1950, followed by Fibber McGee And Molly in 1959. On the radio, Beulah spins off from Fibber McGee And Molly in 1945.

The Hank McCune Show was the first show to use a laugh track.

The Steve Allen Show was Steve Allen's first series. His series premiered on Xmas day.

Magnavox Theater showed the first ever hour long made for TV movie, The Three Musketeers, on November 24, 1950 on CBS. Robert Clarke, Mel Archer and Marjorie Lord were in the movie.

Helen Hayes made her TV debut on Pulitzer Prize Playhouse.

Hold That Camera started out as a game show; the format and Jimmy Blaine, the host, was scrapped. Hold That Camera became a straight variety show with the new host, Kyle MacDonnell.

Hawkins Falls later became the first successful soap in daytime from April 1951-July 1955. It was NBC's longest running soap until The Doctors in 1967.

The Stork Club was broadcast LIVE from Sherman Billingsley's The Stork Club, an actual club.

The future Perry Mason, Raymond Burr, was in two Stars Over Hollywood productions in 1992.

Truth Or Consequences creator, Ralph Edwards, hosted the show on the radio and the very first TV season of Truth Or Consequences. It didn’t do that well in prime time. The biggest success was in daytime with Bob Barker, the legendary The Price Is Right host, as the longest running host from 1956–1974. The show made Bob Barker a star.

For a popular singer like Frank Sinatra, he bombed big time on TV! For some stupid reason, the show was against NBC's popular show, Your Show Of Shows, in the first season and the last season he was against the #1 show of the season, The Texaco Star Theatre. Poor old Frank, he didn't have a real chance on TV.

Hey, man! Let's take a chance on Don Ameche! He is giving away prizes LIVE on national TV. Oh, boy! I can't wait till my turn! Sadly, my turn never came. Take A Chance was cancelled on Xmas eve.

Ad Libbers was the summer replacement for Mama on CBS. For a failed show, the Ad Libbers format later proved very popular as Whose Line Is It Anyway on ABC in 1998.

The Cisco Kid was the first hit in syndication and one of the first popular filmed programs on TV. The series was filmed in color; most stations showed them in B/W.

Ben Alexander also produced Party Time At Club Roma. He was a former child star in the movies. Party Time was his first exposure to network TV. He later played Jack Webb's partner on Dragnet from 1953–1959.

Two Networks: The Faye Emerson Show was shown simultaneously on CBS and NBC.
