What are your favorite short-run series of the 60s and 70s?

There were a lot of them that I liked, which thankfully, after 40 years of collecting, I've managed to either acquire or at least view:

He and She
Governor and JJ
Occasional Wife
James at 15
Lucas Tanner
Medical Story
What Really Happened to the Class of '65
The Young Lawyers
Hank
Bus Stop
For the People
East Side West Side
Slattery's People
The Reporter
Saints and Sinners
Cain's Hundred
The Bill Dana Show
The Paul Lynde Show
My Friend Tony
The Andros Targets
The Second Hundred Years
The Good Life
Run Buddy Run

 

S.W.A.T.

 

"I'm Dickens, He's Fenster" 1962-63.

 

Cimarron Strip

 

It ran a few months into 1980, but I was a big fan of Hello, Larry.

 

Fawlty Towers with a total of 12 episodes

 

Short-run...? Be seeing you...

Hint: he's not implying he's "Number Zero"...!

 

Totally off topic but....
I just watched him in Disney's ' The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh '.
That show must have been. around 1964 or so because I remember watching it as a kid.
I hadn't seen it since and was pleasantly suprised at how good it was.

 

If I had as much action as James at 15 got, I would have had a heart attack before graduating hs.

 

The Persuaders
The Invisible Man (David McCallum version)

Plus above mentioned The Prisoner And Fawlty Towers.

 

The Rockford Files - what a great show

Most Rockford fans know about Maverick, but few realize there was another direct predecessor: The Outsider, starring Darren McGavin as David Ross, an ex-con turned private eye.



Created in 1968 by Roy Huggins (creator of Maverick) in the aftermath of Harper reviving the moribund private eye genre, it shares quite a bit with the later Rockford, especially the first "Chandler" season.

There are a couple of episodes of The Outsider on YT (neither of them all that great). "I Can't Hear You Scream" features an Angel-type character, though interestingly he and Ross are not portrayed as friends . The other episode, linked below, is interesting as it includes a scene (fried chicken) that could have, indeed should have, been played by James Garner.

FF to 1:57

THIS!

 

Occasional Wife
Good Morning World
Nancy
No Time For Sergeants
The Smith Family
He & She
Karen
Governor and JJ

 

Second vote for The Second Hundred Years

 

Quark

 

I used to watch Occasional Wife and Run Buddy Run.

I saw several episodes of When Things Were Rotten and Quark.

Anyone remember Flying High, about the stewardesses (played by Connie Sellecca, Pat Klous and Kathryn Witt)? I think it ran about 1979-80. I thought the ladies were better looking than Charlie's Angels ...

 

I'm going to cheat because three others I thought of have already been mentioned. Open All Night (with Bubba Smith), which ran for 13 episodes from 1981-82.

 

loved this show! wished they would have completed the series... they released a DVD box set but never followed up with the promised second release...

 

Coronet Blue.
