How this season is filed
Life Is Worth Living put Bishop Fulton Sheen and a chalkboard against Milton Berle some weeks — and won. Cape, ideas, faith talk as unexpected prime-time muscle. Watch it in 2026 as the ratings freak that proved a lecture could beat vaudeville: Uncle Fultie versus Uncle Miltie, still the decade's strangest head-to-head.
