The sixth-season finale of AMC’s “Mad Men” aired Sunday, and the drama has now


The sixth-season finale of AMC’s “Mad Men” aired Sunday, and the drama has now moved forward to the fall of 1968. The fall of ’68 also saw the premieres of some of memorable TV shows.

v “Mayberry RFD”: When Andy Griffith left his show, CBS revamped it, keeping the comedy set in Mayberry (along with most of the supporting characters), but bringing in “F Troop’s” Ken Berry as the new lead.

v “The Mod Squad”: Three young misfits (Clarence Williams III, Michael Cole and Peggy Lipton) are recruited by the LAPD as undercover cops. One of the grooviest shows of all time aired on ABC.

v “Julia”: With this gentle sitcom on NBC, Diahann Carroll broke new TV ground: Playing a widowed nurse raising a young son, she was TV’s first African-American female lead character who was not portraying a domestic.

v “Hawaii Five-O”: The original on CBS, with Jack Lord as Det. Steve McGarrett and James MacArthur as his sidekick, Det. Danny (Dann-o) Williams.

v “60 Minutes”: The Sunday-night institution on CBS actually began life as a Tuesday night program that alternated with “The CBS News Hour.” Mike Wallace and Harry Reasoner were co-hosts.

“Under the Dome” (9 p.m., CBS): Ever wonder what it would be like to live beneath a gigantic contact lens? This Stephen King adaptation will show you.

“Miss You Can Do It” (9 p.m., HBO): The documentary brings an admirable twist to the typical beauty pageant concept. It focuses on a competition that is open to young women and girls with special needs and challenges.
