No young whipper-snappers allowed! You guys can start a post on shows of the 80's and 90's.
Here are some of mine that come to mind first:
*Andy Griffeth Show (Classic!) *The Green Hornet (w/Bruce Lee as Kato) *The Six Million Dollar Man (man, I always wanted to run 60 mph) *Dragnet(did those dudes ever smile?)
*Perry Mason (Perrrry Baaaby! Paul Drake was the coolest!)
*The Beverly Hillbillies ("I learned my Gazinta's....2 gazinta 10 five times!)
*Man From Uncle (barely remember this one, but had their 007 style toy gun kit that was a multifunction device...wish I had it today, it'd probably be worth $$)
*The Rockford Files (Garner was great!)
*Mannix (Mike Connors as Joe Mannix - smart, suave, and tough)
What's your favorites from these decades?

I used to love watching it with my Grandmother - she had a thing for Garner.
The ORIGINAL cast of Saturday Night Live was amazing. When I was young, I would go to bed early and then my father would come and wake me up at 11:30 and let me climb in bed with them and watch it. Of course, I probably didn't "get" 3/4 of it then.
I Dream of Jeanie and Bewitched were huge. I remember acting them out when my friends and I would play.

Adam 12! Another favorite I forgot! Loved that show.
How about Canon? I loved seeing that rotund dude get shot at by 40 criminals and not get hit once....and then Frank Canon pulls out his 38 revolver and nails his guy first shot from 100 yds!
Barnaby Jones was equally bullet proof and an expert marksman.

I thought the question meant the 'one' favourite show?
Tie between the Three Stooges & Hogan's Heroes, closely followed by a fair few others mentioned above.
(Appy, I couldn't stand Dr Zachary Smith's idiocy & selfishness, even tho' it was only a movie "Danger, Danger Will Robinson...!" )

I liked Bewitched as a small child.... but I always felt cheated by it because the intro was animated, therefore I thought it would be a cartoon. I always lost interest after the real actors came on. And what was up with the Darren switch: Dick York/Dick Sargeant? I liked The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau as a pre-teen, loved those lumpy Speedos. I loved Monty Python and Benny Hill and SNL as a youngish teen. What about "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy? And "Here come the Brides" and "Alias Smith and Jones"? I used to hate M*A*S*H and Bob Newhart, my dad's special shows. Now I see the humor in them. My mom liked anything that had a handsome man in it, like Hawaii 5-0 or Mannix. Local faves were Adventuretime with Paul Shannon, Cartoon Colorama, Chiller Theater with Chilly Billy Cardille, and Studio Wrestling. A perennial favorite that I watch to this day is Mister Roger's Neighborhood, locally produced in Pittsburgh. I remember my brothers having a toy briefcase from Man from Uncle. And we watched Lawrence Welk and Hee-Haw on Saturdays and Ed Sullivan on Sundays. Then came Laff-In. And was it the Dean Martin Show who had the Gold Diggers Dancers? I can remember always being grubby from playing and thinking what a pain it must be for those glamourous folks on TV to get baths and all dressed up. And thinking that all the country lady singers looked like they had the same teeth (maybe they just shared dentures) and poufy hairdos. I can remember getting a color TV too and what a big deal it was for us. Love....Jill
