    One day at a time. Same age as Valerie but it was Bonny Franklin that kept me watching and started a lifelong love affair with redheads.
    I dream of Jeannie
    Star Trek
    Wild Wild West
    Black Sheep
    I revisited Rat Patrol in reruns in my 20’s
    Watched Brady Bunch but only because family was watching it. It bored me.
    So many that I can’t remember if I watched as a kid or later in life, like Scooby Doo.
    Roadrunner was my favorite cartoon.

    Combat (still want a Thompson like Sgt. Saunders and an M1 Carbine like Lt. Whatshisname)
    Wild Wild West
    Rat Patrol (the German officer is now Victor on one of today's soaps, according to my wife)
    Man from U.N.C.L.E. (would trade body parts for a P38K with M16-style flash suppressor and the Berns-Marin shoulder rig for it. Would also have to have the add-on stock, optic, barrel extension, and extended magazine that converted it to a carbine.)

    Except for some of the older westerns and the cable only stuff, I watched every one of the shows already listed. Rat Patrol was probably my favorite, one Christmas me and my brother got a pair of Rat Patrol Tommy guns, battery powered with a light up red muzzle and a motorized "clacker" inside to simulate FA fire. IIRC, it took "C" size batteries and every flashlight we had took "D"s. Dad never would buy any more "C"s after the originals died...
