Favorite TV Show From the 60's?
Mine was Batman. Followed by about a zillion other ones.

I loved that era in television. Want to reminisce anyone?

Loved me my Flip.

4. My all time favorite tv show is Daniel Boone.
The best episode is the one with Johnny Appleseed IMO.

29. and he fought for America to make all Americans free
what a boon what a doer what a dream-come-a-truer was he!

They seemed to record a different version of the theme song for each season. I grew up in the 70s loving reruns from the 50s and 60s but somehow never saw Daniel Boone until a couple of years ago. Now I am addicted!

21. The Avengers, yes!
John Steed and Emma Peel are two 1960s pop culture icons who remain cool to this day. I've just been watching some of the episodes on video, having scored a good deal on all the Emma Peel episodes through Deep Discount.com, and there is very little on that show that is cringeworthy today, unlike some 1960s shows that were considered cool in their day.

Actually it's very hard to choose just one. I like most of the other shows people have mentioned here too.

19. From wikipedia:
"Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on October 5, 1969", which just barely qualifies. I had thought it was a year or two earlier than that, but I was wrong.
