Probably most of us would agree that the 1960s was a very good decade for network television shows. Here's my top 5 list. Doesn't have to be a show that started in the 60s, but just one that aired in that decade. The reason I'm asking is that even though I was born in 1964, there are a lot of shows from that decade I still haven't watched, and I'm trying to branch out. This is in part because there's not much tv today that I really like. My biggest discovery the last few years from the 1960s has been the Western The Virginian.
1. Star Trek
2. The Twilight Zone
3. Gilligan's Island
4. The Virginian
5. (tie) The Andy Griffith Show/The Dick Van Dyke Show
Well, I guess I couldn't keep it to 5. There were lots of silly comedy shows that I watched in reruns in the 70s that I liked as a kid that I've haven't yet gone back to, like Green Acres, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Beverly Hillbillies, the Munsters, etc. I don't know if I'd like them today or not. I tend a bit more toward drama these days, although actually I like laughing at silly stuff when I let myself do it.
And there are a lot of shows from that decade I've never seen, like Combat!, Gunsmoke, High Chaparral, Peyton Place, etc.
Anyway, hope others will post some lists of favorite shows from this decade too.
