List of TV series with episodes in the public domain

This article has been tagged as unsourced since July 2012. It appears this article is a morass of original legal research, hopelessly difficult to maintain. This is especially so given the uncertain copyright status of television episodes that were broadcast when the Copyright Act of 1909 was in effect. Moreover, even viewing the article as "TV series claimed to be in the public domain", the article would be hopelessly unencyclopedic. RJaguar3 | u | t 21:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is a complete and utter mess, and it seems very unlikely that it can ever get much better. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's interesting to find overall copyrighted TV series have a few certain episodes released under a free license, but Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information, and it should've always been that way since its January 2001 founding. editorEهեইдအ😎 23:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note I listified this article after a similar category was nominated at CfD for listifying. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:26, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
