was "The prisoner" a primetime series? I only watched it for the first time in the last couple of years but that's probably my favorite TV show from the 60s.

Shows with Caveats
Black and White episodes of Wagon Train (Mostly Due to them being the Ward Bond episodes), Burke's Law before it went into the spy genre, Season One of Lost in Space (Before it became Silly), and 1st 2 Seasons of the Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan's Island (The Concepts wore thin on me as the shows went on).

Lastly, I like Bonanza and Gunsmoke but not enough to list them as favorites.

I'm old enough to recall a few of those when they were airing in the 60s, but most of my memories are from the shows that aired up through the early 70s. I have a faint memory of seeing one episode of Star Trek when it was in primetime. My parents weren't big on sci-fi, so it was probably on after something else they watched. You didn't mention it, but I was intrigued by the opening to 'The Saint' with it's spooky music and stick figure version of the lead character. That's about as much as I recall -- didn't realize it starred Roger Moore -- who was the James Bond of my youth.

Your top 10 is pretty good, but I never warmed up to Andy Griffith or Gomer Pyle.

My favorites are likely:

1. Star Trek
2. Batman
3. Bewitched
4. I Dream of Genie
5. Gilligan's Island
5. The Munsters
6. Twilight Zone
7. Petticoat Junction
8. Get Smart (loved the ending sequence with him exiting through the sliding walls)
9. Beverly Hillbillies
10. Land of the Giants

Brady Bunch debuted 1969, but I think of it was a 1970s series -- definitely one of my favorites.
