Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
DuMont was the original fourth network that NBC, CBS, and ABC literally destroyed through corporate collusion — these episodes are survivors of a media war.
Most episodes are considered lost media; what survives exists because kinescopes were shipped to military bases overseas, accidentally preserving TV history in army film vaults.
