We used to get a lot of U.S programmes, always on ATV, the commercial channel franchise that showed adverts and basically dominated the UK TV scene in the 60's and early 70's. I can't really ever remember watching the BBC. It was boring. I think ATV sold some UK programmes to the U.S too. Secret Agent, in the UK called Dangerman, Thunderbirds, I recall Fireball XL-5 and lots of great cartoons. Hanna-Barbara seemed to make them.
Man In A Suitcase, The Baron, there were a lot of Anglo-American productions. You may have also got the Avengers in the U.S. You may also have got The Champions. That was the entrepreneurial work of the great Lew Grade, who revolutionised British T.V. Also the Prisoner. This was mostly mid-late 60's I can recall.
Also the theme tunes to many of these programmes were brilliant!
