If you don't know about DuMont, it was one of the original four networks when TV first started, it lasted from 1946 to 1956. I was wondering if anyone knows of any show that aired on it still exists. I do know there are a few early Honeymooner sketches still around. But what else has survived?

This is a list of known holdings of DuMont recordings:

I've seen some of Bishop Sheen's "Life Is Worth Living" lectures, but really don't know if they were original DuMont or NBS episodes. Apparently a lot of the DuMonts are in existence.


Thanks Alan! I'll see how many of these shows I can find and post them later on my free videos page.

Thanks!! Nice screen name by the way.

Whatever Happened to Captain Video and the DuMont Programming Library? (http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/dumont-network-gleason-lost-kinescope)
