The Red Skelton Show
The Red Skelton Show was a staple of American television for almost two decades, from the early 1950s through the early 1970s.
Origins, 1950s
Skelton's network television program began at the start of the 1951 fall season on NBC. After two seasons on Sunday nights, the program was picked up by CBS in the fall of 1953 and moved to Tuesday night, the time slot with which it would become primarily associated during most of his run. After his first CBS season the program was moved to Wednesday night and expanded to an hour for the summer of 1954 only; it was then reduced back to a half hour and returned to Tuesday night, where it would remain for the next sixteen years.
