TV. Television. Televisions for consumer purchase First commercially available in a very crude form, on an experimental basis, in the late 1920s, then popularized in a greatly improved form shortly after World War II, the television set has become commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for entertainment, advertising and news.

That means they were in one episode and never featured again. (Sometimes characters make two-second cameos as jokes, those can appear on this list.) So...
