As a kid, I can only remember one show that I couldn't wait to come on: Lost in Space

I always liked The Beverly Hillbillies and Giligan's Island (mainly because I had a school boy crush on Mary Ann!), but I didn't get excited to see them the way I did with Lost in Space....."danger, danger,"
The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons, sure makes me question this whole, "healthy eating and exercise" thing

I would say my two favorite TV from the 60's were the original Mission Impossible and the Twilight Zone. The Twighlite Zone was so far ahead of it's time, it would still be a hit today.

I was overseas from 1966-1969 and we were only able to get certain TV shows. Some others which were part of the 60's I really caught up with later on, such as the original Star Trek. This wasn't shown on Armed Forces TV but when I got married in 1974, my darling wife just LOVED this show and turned me on to it and I agree I still watch them as often as I could.

A few other shows that I personally liked

I Dream of Jeannie (for obvious reasons)
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
McHale's Navy
Andy Griffith Show
Bonanza (which covered several decades) but the early shows were the best.

Give me some time and I'll come up with a bunch more.

Loved Twilight Zone, Hitchcock, The Beverly Hillbillies & the Munsters, but my #1 show of the 60's was The Avengers.
The young version  of me thought John Steed was super cool and Emma Peel was a ravishing beauty that could also kick serious butt!!
One show not mentioned that I would put up there with The Avengers was "Combat". Vic Morrow as Sgt Chip Saunders was something I looked forward to every week!

Then? Batman
Later in life watching reruns? Star Trek.

Thinking about this some more and really looking back, there were several shows, that some loved, maybe even great shows, that I really never got into. As I said, for the most part, being overseas, we were only able to get Armed Forces TV and they showed basically a slice of that was on TV at that time. I was there 1966-1969 so most shows, especially ones that started their run in that time, I never really saw. Some, as with Mission Impossible, were shown on AFTV, and most-watched it regularly. Another show, that skip[ped my mind, that I did watch regularly was
Man From UNCLE, which most liked very much.

I never saw The Avengers and for some reason, never really got into it, but as some have said, it was a good show.

Another show that was a huge hit overseas was Get Smart. Just laugh out loud stuff.

As I said, we got and loved McCalls Navy, but most hated Gomer Pyle (I guess the Air  Force loved the Navy but hated the Army)

And another that I watched regularly, early '60s was Rawhide. You could just see Clint Eastwood becoming a huge star someday.
