Originally telecast on October 11, 1951. This was the first episode, as George noted at 28:23, to be seen "live" from coast to coast. Before that, programs originating from the West Coast were presented a week or more later, via kinescope film, to the East- and vice versa; the coaxial cable enabling national telecasts was completed in September 1951, although kinescopes continued to be seen on some stations for delayed telecast purposes.
