The Television Test
From November 6, 1949. TV was still a relatively new invention in 1949, and wasn't quite the mainstream appliance everyone owned in the 50s yet. Of all the OTR programs to make the jump to television in the 1950s, the Harris-Faye show was not one of them, though it's easy to imagine if it had, it would be right up there with the likes of "I Love Lucy" as a classic program.
