Happy New Year from Television Obscurities. If you’re like me, you didn’t make any resolutions. However, I do hope to find some time to devote to Television Obscurities this year. Regular visitors to the site will know there was little in the way of new content in 2022. I won’t make any promises for 2023 but stay tuned.
For anyone interested, here’s a list of some of the obscure TV shows celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2023:
- Girl About Town (NBC, 1948)
- Jamie (ABC, 1953-1954)
- Steve Canyon (NBC, 1958-1959)
- The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters (ABC, 1963-1964)
- The Ugliest Girl in Town (ABC, 1968-1969)
- The Girl with Something Extra (NBC, 1973-1974)
- The American Girls (CBS, 1978)
- Manimal (NBC, 1983)
- The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer (UPN, 1998)
- Charlie Lawrence (CBS, 2003)
- Jake 2.0 (UPN, 2003-2004)
- The Crazy Ones (CBS, 2013-2014)
2023 will also mark the 20th anniversary of Television Obscurities.
Let’s not forget the William Bendix series of THE LIFE OF RILEY (1953-1958).
Life of Riley is probably less obscure than any of the above, and it was on radio for some years before moving to television. Happy 20th Television Obscurities!
