A chronological listing of extant American serials made from the silent era through the 1950s. I am only including titles that exist complete, or for which there is enough material to provide at least the minimal "serial experience" , such as the first film listed, The Perils of Pauline which was originally 20 reels but is known to exist now only in a 9-reel reissue version. Some of these titles aren't commercially available at the moment however.
