List of 1958 Australian television series debuts (incomplete)
This is an incomplete list of Australian-produced television series which debuted during 1958. The reason the list is incomplete is because quite a few 1950s series are not listed on IMDb. Even on schedules that were dominated by U.S series, there were still room for some Australian-made content.
Nevertheless, it's worth noting that it's likely that less Australian series debuted in 1958 compared to 1957, partly because the many series of 1956/1957 continued through 1958 and even sometimes into 1959. Also, the broadcasters were becoming more reliant on US imports.
Again, I'd like to note that this is an incomplete list, which will be expanded later on.
Note: Melbourne commercial stations were GTV-9 and HSV-7, while Sydney commercial stations were TCN-9 and ATN-7. Many Australian shows in those days were shown in a single city only.
The archival status of these series does vary, and in most cases the archival status is unknown.
