The series aired on CBS on Sunday nights at 6pm EST, from December 1950 to June 1951. There were no regularly featured actors on The Bigelow Theatre, but guest stars included Cesar Romero, Lloyd Bridges, Gale Storm, and Chico Marx.[1]
After the series' end on CBS, The Bigelow Theatre was aired on DuMont beginning December 10, 1950 on Thursdays at 10pm EST. The final DuMont episode aired December 27, 1951.[2]
This series is not to be confused with the similarly named The Bigelow Show, a musical variety program which aired on NBC and CBS in the late 1940s.
