Judd for the Defense (Carl ?, Donna Reed's husband on The Donna Reed Show, had a crush on him also), and

Occassional Wife (Michael Callan, big crush on him, and Patricia ?, they married in real life from this show).

All were in the '60's, I was just coming into adolesence, so I was noticing guys for the first time.
I used to watch The Guns of Will Sonnet on Saturday mornings with my dad. I was only a kid at the time, but I remember it. Reruns, and not the original run of course.

haunting theme song, too (although it's well into a minute of this youtube video that it really becomes all that recognizable).
I remember it. Very scary! I just played it and my cat really perked up her ears. I think she thought it was another cat!

How about "Maverick"? It began in 1957 but ran through 1962.

Have Gun

Wow. That long. I only ever saw it in reruns, but, my husband remembered watching it when it was first-run.

Thanks!

Yeah, I remember that. Weren't there actually two Maverick brothers? Or am I getting this mixed up with another show?

Here is my list of favorites, (I didn't count Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, etc because *everybody* knows and loves them! I realize some of these went into the 70s but they all started in the 60s!)

Perry Mason 1957-1966
The Alfred Hitchcock Hour 1962-1965
Doctor in the House 1969-1970
The Liver Birds 1969-1978
On the Buses 1969-1973
Dad's Army 1968-1977
Father, Dear Father 1968-1973
Hancock's Half Hour 1956-1961
Thunderbirds 1965-1966
Steptoe & Son 1962-1974
The Sooty Show 1964-1980
Dark Shadows 1966-1971
