The following is the1950–51 network television schedule for the four major English language commercialbroadcast networks in the United States. The schedule coversprimetime hours from September 1950 through March 1951. The schedule is followed by alist per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the1949–50 season. This season became the first in which primetime was entirely covered by the networks. It was also the inaugural season of the Nielsen rating system. Late in the season, the coast-to-coast link was in service.

In September 1950NBC added two live variety series,Four Star Revue andThe Colgate Comedy Hour, to its fall schedule. These programs were a network effort to bring NBC's most popular radio stars to television; talent includedEddie Cantor,Jack Carson,Dean Martin andJerry Lewis,Jimmy Durante,Danny Thomas,Ed Wynn,Bob Hope andFred Allen. The two new star-studded series were scheduled directly against two ofCBS's most popular programs:Four Star Revue went up againstArthur Godfrey and Friends on Wednesday nights, whileThe Colgate Comedy Hour was slated againstToast of the Town. NBC was confident that its strategy would pay off.[1]

CBS answered NBC's schedule with big radio stars and variety programs of its own, bringing inFrank Sinatra and (in occasional specials)Bing Crosby,Jack Benny, andEdgar Bergen. "Despite the big budget variety shows in its schedule, though, CBS felt that situation comedy was actually a more stable television form that would be easier to exploit in the long run."[1]

In many time slots, the underfundedDuMont Network did not bother to compete against NBC's or CBS's hit series, instead airing what some TV historians have called "time-filler". For example: "During its long run [The Johns Hopkins Science Review] was scheduled against such hit shows asBreak the Bank [and]Dragnet, programs from which its network had little chance of luring away viewers."[2] During fall 1950,The Court of Current Issues andThe Johns Hopkins Science Review'' aired at the same time as the most heavily viewed program on television, NBC'sTexaco Star Theater. Given the competition, DuMont's Tuesday night public-affairs programming attracted virtually no audience. The network had some success with a crime drama that had debuted in January the previous season titledInside Detective (later retitledRocky King Detective), which became one of the longest-running series on the network. Another DuMont series to debut during the season,Star Time, while short-lived, is remembered for including a television version of the popular radio sketchesThe Bickersons, and for being an early example of a sponsored network series to feature an African-American as a regular (jazz pianistTeddy Wilson, a familiar member of the Benny Goodman Sextet).

New fall series are highlighted inbold.
