Some which come to my mind:
"Les Paul and Mary Ford at Home" - a 5 minute U.S. music series from the 1950s which isn't listed on IMDb
"Ruthie on the Telephone" - A 1949 U.S. 5-minute comedy series, each episode depicting a telephone call
"This Week in Britain" -A 1959 to 1980 British 5-minute series, but not aired in the UK. It was produced to be shown in other countries, to present a positive view of Britain.
"The Gaveltons" - A 1999 U.S. series that co-holds the record for shortest television sitcom, as it was only 1 minute long! There were also two other 1-minute sitcoms at the same time, and they aired on TV Land.
"Name That Tune" - An extremely short-lived 5-minute series aired in Melbourne Australia during 1957, presumably based on the long-running half-hour U.S. series
"Ruth Cracknell" - A 1960-1961 Australian 5-minute series in which Cracknell gave comedic lectures spoofing "gracious living"
"Fun with Frith" - A 1957 Australian 5-minute comedy series featuring a cartoonist, who provided sketches and jokes
"Neptune Presents " - A 1957 Australian 5-minute music series starring singers Denis Gibbons and Stan Stafford, who alternated weekly
"A Woman's View" - A 1959-1962 5-minute series from Sydney Australia, featuring commentary on current events
"Strictly for Women" - Short-lived Australian 5-minute series from 1957
"Spider and Fly" - Not sure of country nor running time, but I remember seeing several shorts in this series on Nickelodeon around the early 2000s. Anyone able to provide more info?
I recall several other brief series on Nickelodeon, but don't recall their titles.
Anyone able to name any other TV series with running times of 5 minutes or less?
