**Most obscure TV series from 60s, 70s, or 80s** 1. It Takes a Thief (1968 - 1971) 2. Hank (1965-1966) 3. Project Bluebook (aka Project U.F.O 1978-79) 4. Manimal (1983) 5. Gloria (1982-83) 6. Arrest and Trial (1963-1964) 7. The Ken Berry Wow Show (1972) 8. Wait Till Your Father Gets Home (1972-1974) Slightly edgy animated sitcom well ahead of its time, presaging The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. Not sure how truly obscure it is, though – it starred Tom Bosley and had all kinds of celebrity guests. ---

Four people are potential heirs to a small European country who compete for the throne. ---
