This was the first television season of national network interconnection by coaxial cable and microwave , meaning programming could be transmitted live coast-to-coast ( or in the case of filmed programs , distributed simultaneously across the country ) if needed . On Sunday nights , NBC experimented with airing its new comedy-variety program Chesterfield Sound-off Time ( featuring Bob Hope , Fred Allen and Jerry Lester as rotating hosts ) in an early evening timeslot , 7:00 -- 7:30 . Previously , network TV variety programs had only been aired during late evening hours . According to television historians Castleman and Podrazik ( 1982 ) , the experiment was designed to `` duplicate the early-evening radio success of Jack Benny '' . ( Benny himself would appear on rival network CBS 's The Jack Benny Program immediately following Chesterfield Sound-off Time ) . Red Skelton also made his network television debut on NBC 's Sunday night schedule this season , but long-term success eluded him until after he moved to CBS in the fall of 1953 . Although most TV programming was live , both CBS and NBC also experimented in filmed series ; Castleman and Podrazik highlight early filmed hits I Love Lucy on CBS and Dragnet on NBC . Dragnet was `` one of NBC 's first major experiments in filmed TV series '' ; the series was added to NBC 's regular network schedule in January 1952 , after a `` preview '' on Chesterfield Sound-off Time in December 1951 . I Love Lucy was given what historians have called a `` choice time slot '' : Monday night immediately following the number one program on television : Arthur Godfrey 's Talent Scouts . The series `` proved the strength and acceptability of TV sitcoms , giving -LSB- CBS -RSB- a strong weapon against NBC 's flashy comedy-variety hours '' . DuMont , too , avoided flashy comedy series when in February 1952 , in desperation the network added Bishop Fulton Sheen 's program , Life Is Worth Living , to its Tuesday night schedule . The religious series was pitted against NBC 's hit program Texaco Star Theater , and became the surprise hit of the year , holding its own against Texaco host `` Uncle Miltie '' , and attracting a sponsor , an Emmy , and 10 million viewers . The ABC and CBS programs which aired in the same time slot , Charlie Wild , Private Detective , and The Frank Sinatra Show ( respectively ) , attracted relatively few viewers .
