The trouble is I can't print the page or save it. Maybe eventually I'll figure something out but, in the meantime, I'll have to handwrite what I see on the screen and type that as a post. If you have a particular date or time you're interested in, let me know, but transcribing a page of small print is a bit much.

Fair enough. It takes me quite a while to type out a TV listing. If you can give me a link to the page, I could type it out myself.
American TV listings are the hardest because of the longer broadcasting hours (compared to UK and Australia during the 1950s) and the large amount of short-hand used by the newspapers.
UK listings are the easiestfew programming hours during the 1950s (and even 1960s), and fewer stations compared to a place like New York City.
EDIT: I will type out the listing myself. I have nothing better to do. I don't feel like playing video games at the moment, I have already watched a TV episode ("The Jane Froman Show", Bonnie Scotland episode).

The page is available gratis to subscribers to the NY Times. You can buy individual articles if you're not a subscriber. So far, I've been able to print the page, but it's so tiny it's illegible and, if you magnify it, it gets too blurry to read. I'll try to further refine the process tomorrow.
Clicking on your link gets a 404 Error page. -

Unfortunately, long links create a lot of trouble on IMDb. IMDb adds spaces and such to them that muck them up. Getting them to work takes a lot of effort.

A different page on the site mentions that "Uncle Bob" Callan was the emcee of the series you are interested about:

See section "Talk of the Town on TV seen living up to its name", towards the bottom of the article.
From the sound of it, it seems that it was a local series. For example, an article in one other newspaper mentions that "Uncle Bob Callan, host of the WNBT television program, "Time For Adventure," will be on hand to greet youngsters at Playland":

However, a TV listing from 1951 mentions Bob Shepard as the "story teller" (see

I actually remember Time for Adventure. I believe the host was Bob Callan. The show ran until 1955 or 1956. Each week there was a serial chapter and a drawing from a drum for a Schwinn Bicycle and two other prizes. The show also had a live kids studio audience.
