| | The Avengers (1966)Shown in Great Britain for more than five years (debuting in 1961) before it caught on in America, "The Avengers" is a secret-agent thriller that almost bests James Bond. Jonathan Steed (Patrick Macnee) -- an urbane, proper gentleman spy -- and adventurous citizen Emma Peel (the leggy cat-suited Diana Rigg) repeatedly saved the world from diabolical schemes plotted by equally diabolical evil-doers (among them robots and man-eating monsters). Emma Peel, in her leather boots and mini-skirts, is nowconsidered one of the most liberated women on 60's television. |
