List of TV series with episodes in the public domain

This is a list of television series with episodes in the public domain. Note: while in some cases the complete run of a series may be public domain, in numerous other cases, such as The Dick Van Dyke Show, only a portion of the series' episodes fall within public domain. Also note that while a particular show or episode may be in the public domain, elements (usually musical) of the show may not be (for instance, the first two seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies are public domain, but the show's theme song, "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," is still under copyright and must be edited out of public domain recordings). Some of these series may also have a significant number of episodes that no longer exist.

No TV shows later than the early 1970s (with the exception of those produced as the official work of the United States government) have entered the public domain, and no further American shows will enter the public domain until at least 2043, unless the copyright holders voluntarily release them.
