The Old DuMont network - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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?

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.
