Our parents told us TV would melt our brains. While it's possible "Punky Brewster" and "A-Team" did just that, along the way we saw some genius art. Television can't play 90 minutes on the big screen and vanish into the bargain bin. And it lacks one author to take it from introduction to the final page. Yet within these boundaries, there are a small number of shows that capture our attention, our obsession, and create enduring stories. How many? 35. They're listed here.

Oh, I had forgotten totally Hawaiian Eye.....
Agree, The Fugitive was great....loved watching it every week.....and the ending show was the most watched program ever up til that time...
Gardner MacKay - yes Adam Troy! I really liked him....wonder whatever happened to him....never saw him in anything else. Glad someone else remembered Adventures in Paradise...
Yes, had forgotten the Wild Wild West - definitely the most creative western ever....
The Prisoner - certainly one of the most original TV show ever, and the best TV theme ever.
Your list of olden goldies is a good one....
Art Linkletter’s = Kids Say the Darnedest Things was good also - in the earliest versions.
And, has anybody mentioned, LASSIE or RIN TIN TIN!
They were both fantastic!
And one of the worst movies ever.
Am so glad somebody mentioned the Roy Rogers Show....and his old movies....were good...Saturday morning Cowboy movies...great - Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, many others.
Yes, the early years of All in the Family - the best. I don’t remember Sammy Davis Jr being on there——but do remember the Jeffersons next door - super terrific...and loved “The Jeffersons”.....Moving on up....
Yes it was (one of the worst movies ever).

Thanks! Glad to see someone agrees with me.
Racket squad yes, lone wolf no. I miss Jack Benny too. Why don’t we have funny men like that any more? Why must they always use dirt and swear words to get a laugh?
Life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I become the prince of a town called Bel-Air
....
Whenever I see a picture of Roy and Dale, it makes my heart glad!
No>>>>Jethro spoke of being an astronaut to attract chicks in the episode I’m referring to...kind of like his desire to be a spy.
Oh, OK, I remember that one, too. Actually, I think both the rocket and the tank were two of the ‘running gags’ they used to have on there to milk more stories.
And “Lunch With Soupy Sales”.
Yes, they were something else...
