Catholic cleric Fulton J. Sheen delivered simple but forceful homilies (using a blackboard to illustrate points) in what was perhaps the most watched religious show in U.S. TV history. Sheen, at the time an auxiliary bishop of New York, won an Outstanding Personality Emmy in 1952, and sometimes challenged his Tuesday-night competition, Milton Berle's 'Texaco Star Theater,' in the ratings. That didn't seem to faze Uncle Miltie. After all, he quipped, 'We both have the same sponsor---Sky Chief.'
