American Goon show exposure




        The Goons aired on NBC in the mid to late 1950's.  I'd love to 
know what timeslot they had.  Americans could have listened cross-border 
to CBC as well.
        The reverse case was true to, in that BBC carried several American 
shows, (or was it just via shortwave?).  The Goons make fun of Bob Hope 
and Steve Allen in one episode.
        And the CBC carried Jack Benny on its Sunday night schedule for 
years.  And also Vic & Sade and others.
        Anyway, depending on the American ratings for the Goons, there 
could have been a market for their singles.
