Adventures of Superman Batman (1966) Star Trek (TOS & TNG) Lost in Space Six Million Dollar Man The Lone Ranger Hardy Boys Happy Days Tarzan (Ron Ely) Andy Griffith Show - Don Knotts was a genius.
...just the tip of the iceberg. I was a 60's/70's TV kid. I'll add more later.

There were tons of show I liked...but I haven't watched them in a long time, so I don't know how well they hold up. So I'm including it if I have watched it in the recent past.
Batman (1966). The single most important show in shaping my life.
The Rockford Files. Definitely holds up as a show. And James Garner is just such a likeable leading man.
Barney Miller. In many ways the most realistic police show I've seen.
The Twilight Zone. I've been watching this with Connor.
Rocky & Bullwinkle. Still incredibly intelligent and subversive. It helps to be able to fast forward though. There's a lot of filler in there.

There are the classic TV shows I loved as a kid, and those I discovered as a grown-up. Needless to say, not all of the former withstood the test of time!
Loved as a kid:
- Space 1999 (many episodes didn't age well)
- Star Trek (still a classic)
- Tarzan (with Ron Ely) (haven't watched it since, oooh... 1974?)
- Daniel Boone (with Fess Parker) (ditto)
- Daktari (ditto)
- Land of the giants (ditto)
- Voyage to the bottom of the sea (ditto)
- Les rois maudits (French historical series)(still impressive)
- Le mutant (French SF series; I think it was aired only once!!!)
Discovered as an adult:
- Twilight Zone (I can see why everyone was raving about it)
- Outer Limits (lots of fun, very twilight-zonish most of the time)
Plenty of cartoons as well.
Good times to be enjoyed with a glass of milk and a PB & J sandwich.

Gunsmoke
Car 54, Where Are You?
The Dick van Dyke Show
Gilligan's Island (They have been showing this on TVLand and it is as goo as I remember! I can't consider it a guilty pleasure because there is nothing to be guilty about.)
I haven't seen That Girl for decades but there was a That Girl bit on Family Guy (the opener, but with Peter standing in for Marlo Thomas) that was hysterical. I remember the show but not well enough to remember if it was any good.
And put me down as someone who like Dobie Gillis.

(And I was just naming some stuff that hadn't been mentioned yet. Twilight is my favorite TV show ever and Star Trek (at its best) was almost as good.)

(And I was just naming some stuff that hadn't been mentioned yet. Twilight is my favorite TV show ever and Star Trek (at its best) was almost as good.) I learned all my valuable life's lessons from Leave It To Beaver.For instance Compliment a women's dress before you go messing around ("Thats a very becoming dress you're wearing Mrs Cleaver') Have a friend like Lumpy to blame things on when they go wrong Beware of friends like Eddie Haskell Wear a tie to breakfast,even on Saturday,if you want respect like Mr Cleaver |

I can't believe I forgot Leave It to Beaver!
A few months ago, I saw the one where they get a baby alligator through the mail. My 10-year-old nephew was amazed that you could get an alligator through the mail. Or a monkey. Or a tiny dog.

I was all about the Westerns as a kid: Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Roy Rogers, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Maverick, Cheyenne, The Big Valley, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Have Gun Will Travel, The Guns of Will Sonnett, The Wild Wild West, High Chaparral, The Rifleman, Laramie, Laredo... Let's face it, if it had horses, Stetsons and six-shooter, I was there!
Oaters aside, there aren't a lot of shows from the Sixties I can sit through without squirming. Those I can include Batman, Green Hornet, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek, Dick Van Dyke, F Troop, Addams Family, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Beany and Cecil, The Red Skelton Show, Jonny Quest and an occasional episode of Gilligan's Island. I loved the Man from UNCLE, the Irwin Allen shows and the Flintstones as a kid but they're unwatchable now.
I'm a big fan of '70s sitcoms: Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Barney Miller, Sanford and Son, Taxi, Soap, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley (*love* Lenny and Squiggy), Mork & Mindy, Bosom Buddies, Three's Company (what an amazing physical comedian John Ritter was!) and my all-time favorite WKRP in Cincinnati. Not exactly a sitcom but The Carol Burnett Show was the funniest hour on TV then or now. I'm not so fond of the era's cop shows, medical and legal dramas or its sci-fi (most of them seem horribly dated) but I did enjoy Rockford Files, UFO and Kolchak. I watched American Bandstand, In Concert, Midnight Special and Soul Train faithfully. I began watching Johnny Carson my sophomore year in high school and kept up the habit til he retired. And of course there's the original SNL (with Aykroyd, Belushi etc) and SCTV.
The '80s are kind of a blur of horrible, horrible TV. I remember being totally hooked on Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere but after that they all seem to blend together. Give me time to think and I'll post more later.
Cei-U!
I drown in the nostalgia!

Columbo. Sheer genius and one of the few shows I can watch over and over with unflagging enthusiasm. The near unique format of the "howdunit," the cavalcade of glamorous guest stars, and of course Peter Falk's brilliant and inimitable portrayal of the dogged and crafty Lt. Columbo are the very definition of "classic." |

Bonanza is a show that I never watched as a kid but I watch it now sometimes when I visit my dad (he has dementia and sometimes he finds old TV shows and movies to be comforting. He also likes Family Guy).
At first I didn't like Bonanza at all, but it grew on me a little. But, man, it is really repetitive, and sometimes it's kind of dumb. Fortunately, it's so dumb that it's amusing to make fun of it. (And I love seeing guests like Sally Kellerman, Mariette Hartley or John Astin.)
I got a kick out of the episode where the cook (Hop Sing?) discovered fingerprinting just in time to save Little Joe from a hanging.
Gunsmoke is a lot better.
