I cannot believe that Dobie Gillis is not on that list, although it did start in 1959 so it makes sense! But that's what I would have picked as my favorite!

When I was sick a few years ago, I was housebound for several weeks and stumbled upon Perry Mason. For some reason, I became addicted to the show and still am.
