And here's why.
These are all the shows that were primarily produced in the 1960's that I watched over and over in re-runs in the 70's and 80's or I was able to find on video in later years and then fell in love with.

While I agree, there were many memorable and great shows..
I grew up watching many of these in re-runs in the 70's, but I hate to say, when viewing many of them today, some come off pretty well, but a lot of them do not live up to my nostalgic view of them.
I love many of the theme songs and beginning credits and so on, but actually watching them today is pretty tough going.
I guess many are just dated or not as good as I remembered.
Not bashing on them, but I guess a memory of an old show being great is often more the reality.
I do love the twilight zone still, dated and all!
Some of the comedies ehh not so much.
You forgot "The Prisoner" one of the truly great shows of all time! -

Of course, especially Star Trek,Leave it to beaver, Lost in space, Avengers, Man from Uncle, F-troop, Gilligan Island, Beverly Hillbillies, I dream of Jeannie, and several others.
Put it this way, I have to be in the mood for some of them!
The ones I feel aged best are:
Twilight zone
Leave it to beaver
Some of the humor in Andy Griffith, Gilligan's Island, Beverly Hillbillies, I dream of Jeannie, etc, was maybe better when I was much younger! -

Of those listed, I have seen:
Gilligan's Island - last year I finally watched the entire series and I really did enjoy it, I doubt a show like this will ever work again
Bewitched - I used to watch this every night on Nick at Nite, I had no idea at the time it had color episodes, but as much as I loved the first two seasons I lost interest about halfway through season 3
F Troop - I just finished the entire series and loved it, it is absolutely absurd, often hilarious, Ken Berry with some astonishing physical comedy
Green Acres - I have seen about 20 episodes of this and enjoyed them all, I will eventually watch the whole series
Hogan's Heroes - watched the first three seasons, very enjoyable show, Klink and Schultz kinda steal the show, they are both hilarious
Star Trek - maybe my favorite series ever, it's hard to believe this was made in the 1960s
The Twilight Zone - right up there with Star Trek, storytelling at its finest, incredible actors
Lost in Space - I liked the first season a lot, then it quickly becomes incredibly silly to the point I stopped watching
Mission Impossible - only seen the first season, it was excellent, I plan on watching the rest
The Wild Wild West - amazing first season, a wonderful hybrid of western and SF, plan on watching the rest
