1952/53 – I Love Lucy was #1 on CBS Monday. Note: Any BOLD shows were cancelled in 1952 season; Hollywood Screen Test was cancelled in the sixth season. Alternate Shows: Philco TV Playhouse and Goodyear TV Playhouse were on NBC Sunday at 9 PM. The Buick Circus Hour appeared in Texaco Star Theatre's time period, NBC Tuesday at 8 PM, every fourth week.

Alternate Title: Due to the sponsorship, Summer Theatre was also known as Interlude on alternate weeks. Biggest New Hit: The Buick Circus Hour was #6 on NBC Tuesday. Texaco Star Theatre was #5. Both series shared the same time period. For a hit show, The Buick Circus Hour was cancelled in the first season. Maybe, The Clown scare the viewers off. Maybe, Kim's singing voice deafen the viewers. Maybe, Bill Owens charge outrageous high prices to see the circus in town. Maybe, The Ringmaster threaten to throw the viewers in the cage with the lions. Who knows the real reason why it was cancelled?

The series found success on CBS Sunday afternoons from 1953–1956. Gangbusters was one of the few series to be cancel on Xmas day. Thank goodness I am not in their shoes! Who want a bittersweet Xmas? Hmm, The Big Idea! Hey, I got a great idea. Why don't we get the nasty American Idol judge, Simon Cowell, produce a series just like that? Oh, man! The name is coming to me. Let's call it American Inventor! Wow! What a name! With Simon, American Inventor won't fail, unlike The Big Idea. Sadly, some great ideas were stolen. Got that, Peter Jones?
