Bishop Sheen | Life is Worth Living | The Hell There Is | 1954

"Life is Worth Living" featured Most Reverent Fulton J. Sheen, the Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of New York City, offering anecdotes and moral lessons. Many of the talks were about the evils of the Communist form of government.
Bishop Sheen used a blackboard in his talks (this was long before the days of any sort of video projection), and he referred constantly to the "angel" who cleaned off his blackboard. Of course, this was simply a cut away to Sheen speaking in a different corner of the studio while a stagehand erased the blackboard.
Surprisingly, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was the Emmy winner as "Most Outstanding Television Personality" of 1952, over Lucille Ball, Edward R. Murrow, Arthur Godfrey and Jimmy Durante.
68 episodes initially ran from 1952 to 1965. As of late 2009, this is the only DuMont Television Network series still in syndicated repeats. The final DuMont broadcast was on 26 April 1955, as the network was shutting down operations. Bishop Sheen then moved to ABC for two further seasons.
