Ok, so, what are your favorite shows that you won't openly admit?

Mine are classic bat man series, Rick Steves, and any classic Star Trek series episode.

Kind regards--

I have many which are all reruns.

One of my favorites is Newhart (TV Series 1982–1990)

He had a Bed and Breakfast up in Vermont, I had the hots for Stephanie.
 
I loved me some Supercar.

I stilll get a kick out of anything with groucho marx in it, the old series "You bet your life", and any of the marx brothers movies. Pretty funny slapstick comedy.
 
My aunt lived across the street from Dwayne Hickman's uncle (and my buddy, his cousin) So Dobie was, and is, a favorite.

Red Green was also just flat wonderful :)

I really liked The Rebel and Rawhide too.

Now I feel bad:::
We just had a thread about our fictional hero's and I flat forgot Maynard G. Krebs (his middle name is Walter (the G is silent).
And - Who back then didn't have the hots for Zelda Gilroy?
 
Steve Allen on the Tonight Show.

Bob and Ray. (This is radio, strictly speaking. When they did do TV it was usually a studio setting):
The Komodo Dragon ("If I wanted to see a Komodo dragon, where would I go?")
House full of wart hogs ("They're wild beasts, you know.")
Slow...Talkers of... ("...AMERICA. OF AMERICA.")
The Old Pro ("If that bat comes down, you're outta here.")

A bit earlier than your time frame - "Space Patrol", which ran from 1950 to 1955. You could mail order items to assist you in watching the show, such as a one-way helmet, a periscope, and this ray gun:

Andy Griffith was (and is) the best.
Some others:
Kolchak, the Night Stalker from early '70s
Ghost Story and Circle of Fear also early '70s
Rockford Files
And from more recently.....24
Other than 24 the last NEW show I watched was Seinfeld. I have no interest in TV other than sports and news today

Andy Griffith was my favorite when I was younger.
Later on, I really was hooked on Hill Street Blues and Crime Story. Nowadays, except for American Pickers Swamp People and Ax Men, don't much care.
 
Wild Wild West, the 3 Stooges, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Frazier, Miami Vice, Magnum PI...Nowadays...Justified and Southland.

Any Groucho Marx movie. He was as funny in real life as on the screen. In an interview with his daughter she related how, while waiting in line at a grocery store, a very large woman was holding things up and noticed Grouchos displeasure. She said, in a loud voice for all to hear "If you don't like me taking my time you can just go around me", to which he replied (to the laughs of the onlookers) "Lady, if I took the time to go around you I'd have to pack a lunch for the trip". She turned red and stormed out of the store.
 
charmed. i was sold the day i turned on the TV and saw alyssa milano as mermaid. never thought seashell pasties could get me interested in a modern day soap opera...

and green acres...used to sit and watch that with dad when i was a teen...
 
Gotta' get a couple of good detective shows in there...Mannix and Peter Gunn come to mind immediately. Mike Hammer was good too, a few years later.
 
Tales of the Texas Rangers
Whirlybirds
Star Trek TOS (I all of them on DVD plus have a piece of paper in my autograph album and written on it is,
"To Calvin,
Live long and prosper.
Gene Roddenberry"

I used to be friends with Mary Frann (she dies of cancer some years back) and she invited me to the last taping...that dream episode was one of the best endings of any TV show. :)
