I was browsing my cable company's streaming app to see if HBO (which is included) already has episodes of Mare of Easttown available (it does). But I also discovered that the fifth season, 25 episodes, of The Avengers is available. Not the current Avengers superheroes, but the British TV series that started in 1961 with Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg!
In my early teens there were several years the public TV service would air The Avengers each weekday in the early evening. We would always watch during dinner.
I just realized that The Avengers to me still is a summer series. Just like the Robin of Sherwood is a Christmas series, it was always aired during the Christmas vacation in the morning as part of the children's programming. The latter I watched again several years ago, I'm not sure why they thought it was appropriate for children.
To me Mary Poppins and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are Christmas movies, since they were always aired at Christmas. And The Sound of Music was/is aired either on December 31 or January 1.
