Wow! A DuMont film that did NOT wind up at the bottom of the ocean off Brooklyn.

from some quick research i did, this show ran weekly from October 7th 1954 to March 31st 1955, whitch i assume means that there would have been about 26 episodes made, but this appears to be the only episode that still exists

An extremely rare whole episode of a lost TV show from the long defunct DuMont Network. Quite the find. 🕵️‍♀️

Fred Robbins (1919-1992) was a native of Baltimore MD, where he began his career ias a radio dj . Later Fred moved into tv in New York City as the host of game shows and variety programs. He's remembered as tv pitchman for Coca Cola, presenting the commercials on Coke Time with Eddie Fisher. The Dumont network was established in 1942 by Allen Dumont. IThe network had some excellent programs, but many of their stars, like Jackie Gleason, were lured away by competing networks. Dumony eventually went off the air in 1956.

The two stations they owned, however, would later form the nucleus of the Fox Television Network which in some circles is today considered a linear descendent of DuMont. In the interim, the company wiped the DuMont name from its corporate nomenclature and NYC TV station call letters, changed first to Metropolitan Broadcasting Corporation and then Metromedia, Inc., and finally sold all but one of its TV stations to Rupert Murdoch. (The one exception, in Boston, would go to Hearst.)

Very odd game. The practice of putting that soda into cans started in 1955, the same year as this broadcast. This show is very adamant about people buying that soda in the glass bottles. This essentially became a battle not about the product, but about selling the packaging.

Bizarre the host talks to the contestant on the phone but their voice cannot be heard. Maybe they didn't have the technology to do that back then but you'd think the host would at least relay what the person on the phone was saying but he didn't always do that.

Williams, which the then-DuMont Broadcasting Corporation purchased the year before. It was the second of a two-step process of wiping clean any trace of Dr. DuMont from the station that had once borne his name.

What an awful show. Stupid prizes... dopey game... and a host who gives off "creep" vibes 12:55 . The "finders" look like they were just pulled in off the street. Richard Egan couldn't wait to get out of there. The only good part was the girl who hid the "coupon" She was cute. I enjoyed watching this mess!
