“Mad Men,” the hit AMC drama, has returned for its fourth season with the action moved up to 1964 — one of the most memorable years in TV history. How so? Take a look at these five shows, all of which debuted in the fall of 1964.

v“The Addams Family” (ABC, Fridays at 8:30 p.m.): John Astin and Carolyn Jones brought Charles Addams’ cartoon characters to life in this brilliant sitcom about a “creepy and kooky” crew.

v“Bewitched” (ABC, Thursdays at 9 p.m.): Beautiful suburban witch (Elizabeth Montgomery) twitched her nose, and funny things happened. Her hubby, Darrin (Dick York), worked at a Madison Avenue ad agency that bore little resemblance to “Mad Men.”

v“Gilligan’s Island” (CBS, Saturdays at 8:30 p.m.): The seven castaways of the S.S. Minnow were shipwrecked on an uncharted desert isle, where they would defy logic for the next three seasons.

v“The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” (NBC, Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m.): The first James Bond TV knockoff: Secret agents Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) traveled around the globe to thwart the schemes of the evil THRUSH.

v“The Munsters” (CBS, Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.): TV’s other monster family, led by Herman, the Frankensteinish paterfamilias, played by Fred Gwynne of “Car 54, Where Are You?”

“Homeless: THE MOTEL KIDS OF ORANGE COUNTY” (9 P.M., HBO): Television has glamorized California’s Orange County so much in recent years that it seems to be the happiest place on Earth.
