This is a list of Italian television related events from 1977.
In Italy, 256 private channels are registered, but only 80 are really active; they are reunited in two organizations, the National Consortium of Free TV and the catholic FIEL.
In 1977, RAI increases considerably the importation of American serials.
Columbo and Happy Days get an immediate success, but the hit of the year is Fury; the "Western horse" becomes the Italian children's favorite, also if his adventures are in black and white and twenty years old.
