As we get deeper into fall the number of titles on my “master list” of obscure, forgotten TV shows continues to drop. I currently only have 33 TV shows on the list that debuted in November, ranging from 1946 to 2011. All 33 are listed below. Because I’m always adding new shows to the list, by next November there may be 40 or 50 titles on my 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.
