Mission: Impossible, Hogan's Heroes and the Avengers are my big three. I also enjoy a little Sanford and Son, Star Trek and the Munsters now and then.

"Get Smart" is all I can think of at the moment.
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Oooh, another Avengers fan! I prefer the black and white Emma Peel episodes, but the colour ones are fun also. I did *not* like Tara. Linda Thorson was an unbelievable ditz.

I'm also probably one of the few Avengers fans who actually liked the movie, although I liked it for Sean Connery ("Now is the winter of YOUR discontent!") and the script. Also, Jim Broadbent made a great Mother. However, Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman were badly miscast -- Fiennes didn't play Steed with enough panache, and Thurman ... well ...

At least Patrick MacNee was in the movie, if only invisibly. *rimshot*

You & I agree on both the TV series & the movie. Really annoys me that the always give the original actors these least or throw a bone roles. They should be part of the story, not an afterthought.

But the TV shows were sooo cool! Most of them may have been shot as stage plays, but diffenatly better storytelling then today's.

The black and white ones seem to be the best at storytelling. I liked the Quick Quick Slow Slow Death and A Surfeit of H2O best, although of the colour episodes, The Correct Way To Kill always cracked me up. The Invisible Man was also surprisingly good, if a little cheesy.

My own list could have been longer and definitely would have included a lot of the shows that were mentioned by others except I had to go out for dinner just when
I got started on it.
Happy to see that there's another L&S fan here!:)
Any way one category I didn't get around to was the Secret Agent/Spy one:
Get Smart(even though it was a parody)
The Avengers
I Spy
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.

How old does it have to be to be classic?. . . my favorite TV show of all times is the Cosby Show, and I don't think it qualifies as a classic yet, but one day it will be!

Anyways, my favorite show that's actually a classic now is probably I Love Lucy. Funny stuff.

Why does the Avengers give you weird memories, Faded?

And you're in big trouble, m.l. How on *earth* could you forget Mission: Impossible?! I have over 100 episodes on tape! Peter Graves is the man!

The 1980s one has a few good episodes, particularly "The Pawn," but the 1960s one was the best. Episodes like "Operation Rogosh" and "Live Bait" ... man. They don't make them like that anymore.

Ohh, I'd have to say I Love Lucy, The Cosby Show (not the oldest, but eh), The Andy Griffith Show, and Zorro! Ack, I used to love Zorro! I also remember watching old Batman eps with Adam West...Not a favorite, but it's great to poke fun at!! "Confound it!! The batteries are dead!!" Wow. Good stuff, I say.
