TV Shows Celebrating Anniversaries in October 2025

My “master list” of obscure, forgotten TV shows includes more than 200 titles that debuted in October between 1946 and 2024. That’s down considerably from the 600 titles from September but still far too many to list. As always, most of these shows are one season wonders or aired for less than a full season. There are also a decent number of shows that ran for a full season and a partial second season plus some that ran for two full seasons or perhaps two or three abbreviated seasons.

Here’s a look at just some of the obscure TV shows celebrating anniversaries this month:
