TV Shopper, also known as Your Television Shopper or Kathi Norris' Television Shopper,[1] [2] was an early American daytime television series which aired on the DuMont Television Network at 10:30 am ET from November 1, 1948 to December 1, 1950.[3]

The show was hosted by Kathi Norris, also host of DuMont's Spin the Picture, and was an early example of a TV shopping show. Johnny Stearns recalled that his wife Mary Kay had received an offer to be a model for this or a similar program, but, at his request, refused and instead did television's first sitcom, Mary Kay and Johnny.[4]

Episode status

As with most DuMont Network programs, no episodes of TV Shopper are known to survive today.
