Exploring forgotten TV from the 1920s to today.
More than 1,400 TV tie-in novels were published between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, based on shows ranging from The New People to Bonanza. Yet there are still some shows I wish had received tie-in novels.

January 2015 saw a handful of DVD releases, including new obscurity Bad Judge and episodes of syndicated drama Waterfront (1954-1955).
