From the Lost in Space lunchbox to The Man From U. N. C. L. E. pinball game, the 1950s and '60s popular television shows inspired kids across America to buy toys related to the shows and their charecters. Now many of those toys are valuable and hard to find, and adults today, longing for remembrances of the past, are collecting the toys they enjoyed so much as children. TV Toys And The Shows That Inspired Them is designed to bring back childhood memories and help collectors find those special TV toys that they are seeking, and get the most for their money when found. The TV shows with their toy tie-ins also includes Bewitched, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Family Affair, The Monkees, Get Smart, The Beverly Hillbillies, Star Trek, Land of the Giants, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Dark Shadows, The Outer Limits, Daniel Boone, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Zorro, Dr. Kildare, Ben Casey, Green Hornet, Batman, Twelve O'Clock, High, The Rat Patrol, Combat, and Hogan's Heroes.
