Broadcast history

The series was aired "by most of [ABC's] eleven affiliates".[2] In each episode, Crawford, his wife Ruth, and their five children appeared. The series was broadcast live from Philadelphia's WFIL.[3]

When Youth on the March was cancelled by ABC in 1952, the series was picked up by the now defunct DuMont Television Network for a one-season run, from October 5, 1952 to June 7, 1953.[3][4] The series continued to air in first-run syndication over a handful of stations until 1958.[2]
