Sixties Sitcom Land

Hours of fun, excitement by this anomaly being a member of the Addams family I’m Bewitched and I dreamed of Jeannie, our humble abode on Gilligan's Island, also lived our friends The Munsters, the Beverly Hillbillies and The Brady Bunch, around the corner lived Denis the menace, so at times we had to Get Smart then there were That Girl she was courting Batman or was it Robin, my love was my horse Mr Ed, lived with The Monkees on Petticote Junction, I met my favourite Martian in The Twilight Zone, he told me that he got Lost in Space, now he’s become a Fugitive great friend of The flying Nun, my memories of entering the Time Tunnel on the way to my Voyage to the bottom of the sea, I’ve been Branded by the Invaders, The Prisoner, if it wasn’t for Mr Terrific and Captain Nice the Mob Squad from The Land of the Giants would be the Avengers of F Troop from Star Trek.

I was not born in the 60's but have watched some of these shows.. Loved the Monkeys, they do not make shows like they used to..
