Television theme highlights of the initial 6-Pack releases include: Gilligan's Island, Dennis The Menace, Leave It To Beaver, The Andy Griffith Show, The Honeymooners, WKRP In Cincinnati, The Mod Squad, Adam-12, Kojak, Hill Street Blues, Lost In Space, Captain Kangaroo, Merrie Melodies, Road Runner, Underdog, Looney Tunes, Bonanza, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, The Munsters, Petticoat Junction, The Dick Van Dyke Show, That Girl, The Bob Newhart Show, Family Affair, Secret Agent Man, Magnum P.I., Get Smart, The Tonight Show, Pink Panther, The Jackie Gleason Show, You Bet Your Life, and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
