Television came of age in the 1960s and quickly became the dominant influence in American culture. When Americans wanted to be entertained or informed, they increasingly turned on "the tube." The pure entertainment of The Ed Sullivan Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Carol Burnett Show, I Dream of Jeannie, and The Fugitive evolved into the events - driven relevance of The Dick Cavett Show, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. And when Americans wanted to learn more about the war in Vietnam, the protests in the Southern states or follow their favourite sports, they switched on the TV. Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Paul Shaffer, Petula Clark, Dick and Tom Smothers, Dick Cavett, Diahann Carroll, Carl Reiner, Carol Burnett, Vince Gilligan, and others take a sentimental, sometimes moving look back at the ground-breaking, rule-breaking, norm-bending sitcoms, dramas, variety shows, and news coverage that shaped and reflected who we were. 2014 A CNN, Playtone and Herzog & Company Production for CNN (USA)
