Oh, yes! Those, and: Addams Family (I didn't like The Munsters, but millions did.) I Dream of Jeannie Mr. Ed My Favorite Martian and anything similar that was twisting the '50s nuclear family by way of fantasy tropes.
Also The Man from UNCLE, the lighter side of the Cold War. I missed I Spy, but I wish I hadn't. I caught up with Danger Man and Bond later. UNCLE in particular introduced a generation of pre- and early-teen girls to the Sexy Foreigner, which blossomed into American screaming-audience fascination with The Beatles a year or two later.
I'm too old to have seen Sesame Street not as an adult...
