Episode status

DuMont, like CBS and NBC during the 1950s, likely kept at least one or two "example" episodes of each of their main game shows, though DuMont's exact policy is not known. However, DuMont's archive was destroyed after the network ceased broadcasting in 1956. Although a small number of episodes of DuMont game shows have surfaced (including episodes of Okay Mother, On Your Way, Blind Date, etc.), none are known to exist of either Gamble on Love nor Time Will Tell.
