TV's SPY SHOW CRAZE OF THE 60s
It should be noted that TV's spy wave of the 60s was both bracketed and anchored by three Patrick McGoohan shows. The half-hour Danger Man series, with McGoohan as secret agent John Drake, made its debut as a single-season entry in the spring of 1961, when no spy shows aired, and wouldn't be aired for at least another couple years. When Drake returned in an hour-long version, retitled as Secret Agent, in the spring of 1965, it was for two seasons, just as prime-time was kickstarting its spy craze era with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Spy, The Avengers and Mission: Impossible, among others. Finally, the secret agent who was arguably John Drake, but only known as Number 6, made a final appearance in The Prisoner, airing in the summer of 1968, with an encore run the following summer, just as the spy fad had begun to fade -- but out with a bang it went with that show's iconoclastic psychedelic take on the spy genre. All three McGoohan series were broadcast over CBS. The theme intros here are arranged in more or less chronological order.
