Cliché Family in Televisionland (1963)
This outrageous parody of the prototype 'commercial' family was apparently made as an in-house joke by one of the largest producers of television commercials. Their clients would have never seen this gem, which parodies products as well as the people that buy them. (arc)

Considered one of the most violent television series of its era, "Mannix" followed the adventures of L.A. private eye Joe Mannix, who first worked for a detective agency known as Intertect, which relied heavily on computers and a large network of operatives. In the second season, Mannix opened his own agency, with police widow Peggy Fair working for him as his secretary. Each episode featured plenty of fistfights, car chases and shootouts. (imdb)

Stories of the journeys of a wagon train as it leaves post-Civil War Missouri on its way to California through the plains, deserts and Rocky Mountains. The first treks were led by gruff, but good-at-heart Major Seth Adams, backed up by his competent frontier scout, Flint McCullough. After Adams and McCullough, the wagon train was led by the avuncular Christopher Hale along with new scouts Duke Shannon and Cooper Smith. Many stories featured the trustworthy assistant wagonmaster Bill Hawks, grizzled old cook Charlie Wooster and a young orphan, Barnaby West. (imdb)

Houseflies open a window and fly to the local cabaret, which has been made from a coffeepot. There's good music and good dancing; but everyone is terrified when a monstrous spider walks in. He performs a song, then kidnaps a girl housefly. He takes her to his secret lair, followed closely by a mob of houseflies from the club. He quickly mixes a potion, drinks it and transforms into a respectable-looking spider in formal dress. When the houseflies bust in, they are confused. But the girl identifies him as the fiend. Suddenly the potion wears off and the flies see the beast for who he is. (imdb)

Pass the Line (1954 unsold television pilot)
Here's something so bad it makes "Queen for a Day" look like "Masterpiece Theatre". It is an unsold television pilot from 1954, for a game show called "Pass the Line" in which an artist slowly draws a picture in ten steps, and each step is copied by a panel of "celebrities" (one of which is Jonathan Winters!). At the end of the incredibly awful pilot, the host and some other guy directly speak to the networks telling them why they should pick up the series (easily the best part of the pilot). (arc)
