The series aired on Thursdays at 9pm Eastern Time after Treasury Men in Action and before Kraft Television Theater. The show's competition on NBC was Dragnet.[2]

gollark: Oh, you *can* actually send on the wildcard channel, this might be a problem.
gollark: Anyway, if you have useful protocol change ideas please submit them somewhere so I can maybe implement them.
gollark: No, that would probably be hard to support and I don't really like them.
gollark: I think msgpack is technically superior, but potatOS doesn't actually ship code for it right now.
gollark: It supports a msgpack-based encoding instead, but none of the clients except the JS-based test one actually use that.
