Are you Team Spock or Team Gomer?
What a year! And they call today the golden age of television. Bah! The schedule was stacked with classics in 1968 — stacked! So many of our favorites were on the air that year.

72% similar, which is more than I expected to be. Back then, most homes had only one television set, if any. My choices reflect what I would have watched if I'd had my choice, but I would have been outvoted on many of these, and would have ended up watching my brothers' choices instead.
