One of the decades that intrigues me the most, despite the fact that I wasn't actually alive during the time, is the 1960s. I think it comes from watching a lot of 1960s shows and movies with my mom. We watched a lot of Nick at Nite together over the years, and I became a fan of shows like Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Munsters, and The Beverly Hillbillies. We also used to watch AMC's American Pop, a programming block where the network aired a different movie from the 1950s through the 1960s every Saturday night along with classic movie trailers, old drive-in movie ads, and music videos that were often cut from other films. Through this programming block, I discovered and fell in love with the Beach Party films starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, films from the Gidget series, and Elvis Presley films.

So, what are your favorite retro things from the 1960s? What are your favorite television shows? What are your favorite films? Do you like the music from that decade? Discuss anything and everything to do with the 1960s here.

Some I really like include:

Bewitched
Andy Griffith Show
Jetsons
Flintstones
Munsters
Addams Family
Kimba the White Lion
Astro Boy

I agree with Superman and crow here. All of the aforementioned shows and films were fun to watch. I also think there were a few 60's vehicles that were pretty stellar. And many food products and brands that are still great today.

Too many groovy 60s jams to name.
