I'd add Barbary Coast (Who doesn't love Shatner hamming it up?), and Man From Atlantis (Who doesn't love Batman's King Tut wherever he pops up?), and UFO (Who doesn't love sci-fi shows set in the way-distant year of 1980?); all my others have been listed all through this thread.

How could I have forgotten the Fugitive? I remember the night the final episode of the series was shown -- I believe it was the most watched TV episode ever (up to that time, of course).
It was quite a show. Although, I didn't really appreciate it until years later in syndication, as I was too young to grasp the drama when it was first run.
Also, I forgot "The Man From UNCLE". That was a good show, too.

IMO, Secret Agent / Dangerman was a much better show! It was the prequel series, but supposedly was about the same character: John Drake. It wasn't as symbolic or just plain weird as The Prisoner, but was a lot more intelligent and 'realistic'. Although it could get a little dry from time to time.
