I love 'The Avengers'. My mum watched it when she was growing up and she 'introduced' me to the show when it was repeated a few years back.
It's quirky, crazy, funny and bizzare but in a good way.
If you are not familiar with the show its about spy John Steed (Patrick Macnee) who investigates strange goings on. He is helped by a string of assistants: Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) and Tara King (Linda Thorson) being the most famous.
In the first season the main character was a doctor, David Keel (Ian Hendry) and Steed was a shady associate. Then they changed the arc of the show and I'm glad they did.
'The Avengers 'is Steed. Considering that some of the very first episodes got destroyed, I haven't seen the early episodes, but the thought of Steed not being the main character or the show being darker just doesn't feel right.
Its pure escapism and thats the main reason that I love it.
