Which television show premiered on the same day that the Soviet Union launched Sputnik?

• Leave It to Beaver:On October 4, 1957, the day Leave It to Beaver premiered on American television, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite. Sputnik was a polished metal sphere about the size of a beach ball. It measured 23 inches in diameter, weighed 184 pounds, and circled the Earth once every hour and 36 minutes traveling at 18,000 miles an hour. The U.S. government and scientific community were caught off guard by the Soviet achievement, and their efforts to catch up with the Soviets heralded the beginning of the "Space Race".
