Trivia: An example of a television network deliberately killing a popular series by moving it to an inappropriate slot on their schedule. This series was a big hit, especially among younger viewers. For the second season, ABC moved it from Monday nights to 7:30 Saturday. It was not only an inappropriate timeslot for younger viewers, it served as the lead-in for "The Lawrence Welk Show" (1955) and was scheduled opposite the highly popular "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine" (1962) on CBS. The series was pulled halfway into the second season.
