 ABC revamped its schedule for Fall 1953 with big-budget programs.New ABC programs included "Make Room for Daddy", and an ABC version of NBC's popular "Kraft Television Theatre"; the strategy was designed to "take on CBS and NBC with a strong schedule".In contrast to ABC's revamped schedule, DuMont's Fall 1953 prime time schedule looked weak, with programs that were "doomed from the start by third-rate scripts and cheap production."
