Re: Are you going to watch CNN tonight? The 60's?

So you wanted more about tv in the 60s? PBS has a great series - Pioneers in Television. You might look for those episodes.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll check it out sometime.

It needed way more time than one hour!

So much confusion on this. It was part 1 of 10.

Excellent. These were "my times," getting married, having babies, and many losses including the early death of my mom at only 49. It was so different from the 50s (my teenage years). I will enjoy and mourn at the same time, but there's no way I will not watch this series.

I did watch the first installment and I wasn't surprised that there was so much Nixon-bashing. I like Tom Hanks, but he needs to consider a bit more balance in his productions.

Partisanship aside, a person might concede that Nixon was quite prescient in many matters -- namely China.

Can we put a lid on the cheap shots?

I watched the first ep (about tv in the 60s) and have a Season Pass, so I look forward to the other 9 installments.

The first one was fun and I enjoyed it very much.
