Broadcast History
"The Jean Arthur Show" had a potentially good time slot, following the initial season of "Family Affair" and preceding Steve Allen's "I've Got a Secret" quiz program.

The show's competition was two series in their second seasons: "The Big Valley" on Syndication and "Run for Your Life" on Syndication.

However, the show ranked 65th in ratings and was canceled by Syndication after twelve episodes aired.
