"Melody Street" (1953) was a failed DuMont Network series produced in which the performers would lip-sync other peoples songs.
"Hit Parade" (1956-1959) was a popular Australian TV series in which the performers would lip-sync other peoples songs, done in set and costume, in some cases using rudimentary story-telling techniques. I saw an episode several years ago, it was actually entertaining.
"The Dotty Mack Show" (1953-1956) was produced in Cincinnati, and aired nationally on DuMont and later on ABC. The reviews on IMDb indicate she was skilled at miming others songs, and that the songs were presented in production numbers.
"Your Hit Parade" was an Australian TV series of the 1960s (no relation to the 1950s NBC series), in which the cast would lip-sync other peoples songs, with the songs presented in song and costume. The most unusual thing about the series was that it was produced in Brisbane (generally, national Australian series originated in either Sydney or Melbourne). It was a well-received series which very few people remember.
"Off the Record" was a local 15-minute show aired on DuMont's Washington DC station in the early 1950s. It consisted of a man and a woman lip-syncing other peoples songs. A single episode has survived, I've seen it, and it is strangely entertaining.
I wonder if there were any other examples of this mini-subgenre of classic TV series featuring performers lip-syncing other peoples songs.
