The wikis say it was on at 10:00 in the 1959 season, following three prior seasons at 8:00.

I assume there was "comedy" in it] Jon Delfin wrote... Depends on if you think Jimmy Durante was funny. I did, and I'm not even as old as your grandparents. PGage writes... Well, I was primarily thinking of the Lennon Sisters as comedy buzz-kill. I had limited exposure to Durante as a kid (probably mostly through my grandfather). Unlike some other old time entertainers my grandfather exposed me to (e.g. Jack Benny, Groucho Marx, Jackie Gleason, George Burns), I never really developed a taste for Durante, though had no particular dislike for him either. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
