His shot- blocking and man-to-man defense were major reasons for the Celtics' success, and he inspired other players to elevate their own defensive play. Russell was equally notable for his rebounding abilities. He led the NBA in rebounds four times and tallied 21,620 total rebounds in his career. He is one of just two NBA players (the other being prominent rival Wilt Chamberlain) to have grabbed over fifty rebounds in a single game. Though never the focal point of the Celtics' offense, Russell also scored 14,522 career points and provided effective passing.defensiveshot- blockingman-to-man defenserebounding Wilt Chamberlainoffense

Mel Cooley, a balding straight man (and recipient of numerous insulting one-liners from Buddy), is the show's producer and the brother-in-law of Alan Brady, the show's seldom-seen star. As Rob, Buddy and Sally write for a comedy show, the premise provides a built-in forum for them to "be funny". Other stories focus on the home life of Rob and Laura, who live in suburban New Rochelle, New York. Frequently seen is their young son, Ritchie, as well as their neighbors, Jerry and Millie Helper Stars: Dick Van Dyke Mary Tyler Moore

The Beverly Hillbillies In the series, Jed Clampett strikes oil while hunting on his land. He then moves with his family to Beverly Hills, California, with the resultant wealth. Often considered the most popular sitcom of the 1960s.

My Favorite Martian

Bewitched

Bewitched The focus of the show (which was initially entitled "The Witch of Westport", according to the A&E Biography of Elizabeth Montgomery), is on the mixed marriage of a nose-twitching witch, Samantha Stephens (Montgomery), and her mortal husband, Darrin, originally played by Dick York and later by Dick Sargeant. The series, a romantic comedy, shows how true love can endure the most vexing of situations, even between a witch and a human. Samantha's mother Endora (played by Agnes Moorehead), disapproves of Darrin, as indeed do most of Samantha's family. Many episodes revolve around her, or another of Darrin's spell-binding in-laws, using magic to undermine the union. Although Endora casts countless spells on Darrin, she never outright banishes him from Samantha's life, or casts any spells of permanence. Endora's goal seems to be to pressure Darrin into leaving Samantha out of exasperation at her constant intrusions, but Darrin's love for his wife overcomes every obstacle thrown at him. Endora refuses to even remember Darrin's name, invariably calling him "Derwood", "Darwin,", and even "Dumb Dumb", much to Darrin's agitation.

The Addams Family A satirical inversion of the ideal American nuclear family, they are an eccentric wealthy family who delight in everything grotesque and macabre, and are never really aware that people find them bizarre or frightening.

The Munsters sitcom depicting the home life of a family of horror movie monsters. Much of the humor derived from the fact that they did not have the slightest idea that they were in any way different from their neighbors. Comedy also came from their daily interaction with modern- day society, and the usual horrified or frightened reactions of those around them at their ghoulish appearance.

Gilligan’s Island The show followed the comic adventures of seven castaways, a representative microcosm of white American society, as they attempted to escape from a previously uninhabited island where they were shipwrecked and stranded.

Get Smart

Get Smart The series starred Don Adams as bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. Barbara Feldon’s character (Agent 99) is never named; even after Smart married her, he (and everyone else) continued to always address her as "99". Smart and 99 worked for CONTROL, a secret U.S. Government spy agency based in Washington, D.C. (123 Main Street). Together, the pair investigated and opposed various threats to the world while Smart's bumbling caused complications. However, at each story's climax, Smart never failed to save the day, typically thanks to his own dumb luck and 99's competence. Looking on was the long-suffering Chief (played by Edward Platt), who was always addressed as "Chief". Unlike Agent 99, Chief was revealed to have a name—Thaddeus—on a few occasions. The nemesis of CONTROL was KAOS, and KAOS's Vice President of Public Relations and Terror, Siegfried (Bernie Kopell), showed up often as Maxwell Smart's opponent, or would-be assassin. Though on opposite sides, Max and Siegfried clicked personally, and spoke fondly of one another—even when trying to kill each other. Other characters included Hymie the Robot (Dick Gautier), a powerful android who tended to take orders too literally; Agent 13 (Dave Ketchum), who was forever being stationed inside weird places such as mailboxes, washing machines, lockers, and other objects; Agent 44 (Victor French), who regularly suffered the same fate as Agent 13; Agent Larrabee (Robert Karvelas), the Chief's slow-witted assistant; Shtarker (King Moody), Siegfried's chief henchman; and Fang (Agent K-13), a badly-trained dog working for CONTROL.
