Cash and Carry

Cash and Carry is an American television game show hosted by Dennis James that ran on the then-both affiliates of the DuMont Television Network from June 20, 1946 to July 1, 1947. This made it not only the sole program aired on Thursday nights by the network, but also the first "network" television game show. This series was sponsored by Libby's Foods, and produced by Art Stark, later producer of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The show was set in a supermarket, with contestants taking cans off the shelf which had questions for the contestant to answer.
