Beat The Clock (1950-58 Collyer)
(222 episodes total)

You may find conflicting dates of broadcast for some of these episodes on the internet. However, I am quite confident that these are the correct dates. I have spent a lot of time verifing the broadcast dates from things Bud said. Every episode now fits seamlessly in the timeline as it should. I have noted when and how Bud has verified the date in the description of the episodes.

1950     1951     1952     1953     1954     1955     1956     1957     1958
