The final show aired June 26, 1952.[1] This show was replaced by another Ford-sponsored NBC show, Ford Television Theatre, from October 1952 to June 1956.Шаблон:Citation needed

The initial premise of the program was that each episode had a plot that tied together performances by Melton and other performers, including singer Dorothy Warrenskjold, comedienne Vera Vague, and comedic singers the Wiere Brothers. Effective June 7, 1951, the format changed to a traditional revue. The Wiere Brothers were dropped, and Billy Barty joined the group.[2]

The show aired:

  • April 5, 1951 – December 27, 1951, Thursdays 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET[2]
  • January 3, 1952 – June 26, 1952, Thursdays 9:30-10:30 p.m. ET[2]
