    Funniest opening credit sequence ever: the show title appears over a
    group shot of the protagonists... in the upper half of the screen,
    thus obscuring their faces - didn't somebody NOTICE at the time they
    were being assembled and say something?

    Oh, the 60's were a great era for all genres from action to sci-fi to
    comedy. Will we ever reclaim those days?
