Most Popular October 2011

Despite only posting once last month (or perhaps because I only posted once last month), October just barely edged out September in terms of visitors to Television Obscurities. So I thought I would take a look at the most popular articles, videos and posts from October 2011:

Usually, my articles on The New People is among the most popular, regardless of the period of time in question. But not last month. By my count, it was the 14th most popular article in October. I’m continually surprised at the popularity of my article Telemeter: Coin Operated TV, which I have been promising to revise heavily “in the near future” for more than five years. Maybe I will finally get around to updating it next year.
