Contents

It's Alec Templeton Time has the distinction of being one of the last programs to air on the dying DuMont Television Network, along with Have a Heart (ended June 14, 1955), What's the Story (ended September 23, 1955) and Boxing from St. Nicholas Arena (ended August 6, 1956).[ citation needed ] The struggling network was already beginning to shut down network operations before It's Alec Templeton Time even aired its first episode, and Paramount Pictures would take control of DuMont during the summer; as a result, the series' run was brief, and did not last past the summer months.

Episode status

As is the case with most DuMont programs, nothing remains of the series today.[ citation needed ]
