Another Of Television’s First Game Shows…’Cash And Carry’<\/p>\n

This may actually be network television’s first game show. The distinction here is “network television”, as this debuted on June 20, 1946 on Dumont and was broadcast in New York and Washington.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, we looked at the CBS game show ‘Missus Goes – A -Shopping’ which aired in 1944, but that was only shown in New York City. As we also saw, ‘It’s A Gift’ debuted in January of ’46 on CBS, but that’s several months after ‘Cash And Carry’ with Dennis James. <\/p>\n

I wanted to post this to do two things…connect some dots in the history department and to prepare you to meet Dennis James. In the next post, there is a superb video tribute to one of television’s true pioneers. Don’t miss it! Enjoy and Share! -Bobby Ellerbee<\/p>\n

By the way, ‘Cash And Carry’ was broadcast from Dumont’s first studios located inside Wanamaker’s Department Store in NYC.<\/p>\n
