A '60s TV show trip down memory lane
Pff, I figured I should get all of these. After all, I was a TV junky growing up. I'd sing or hum TV themes on my way home from school. Piece of cake.
Nevertheless, I still missed 3.

Fun!
But since I wasn't born til the 70s there's tons of those shows that I've never seen or heard the theme song (or even heard of)
I got a bunch of early ones right, but eventually gave up

I was born in 1966 and so the first 60s show mom says I watched was Sesame Street.

1969 was the year our PBS station fired up, but I didn't pay much attention to it until NOVA first aired.

The first 3 (no brainers) took 1.5 min. No way I was going to sit through them all.

you can hover on the timeline and see thumbnails of where the current one ends and the next starts, and jump ahead. That's what I did.

Soupy Sales. I remember White Fang. His sons were rock musicians with Iggy Pop and David Bowie! I never heard about his 11pm show with jazz musicians -- cool.
Johnny Carson. The Great Carsoni at age 14.

I think that song was actually a juvenile Stevie Wonder, then known as Little Stevie Wonder.
See I remember something of the '60s. Dragnet was a fun LSD thing back then . . . which is what you'd have to do for it to be any fun.
