There have been hundreds of musicals produced for television, many of which were written specifically for the medium. Though seen by millions of people, little has been written about these shows and few soundtrack recordings have made it on to CD. As a result, most are forgotten. These pages seek to preserve some memory of these musicals, and to promote new interest in this once rich performing tradition.
