The History of White People In America: Part I "In Search Of,"

The History of White People in America was done in the style of documentaries about minorities in the United States. The focus is a family of empty-headed white people clueless about the complexities of the world around them. Each 30-minute segment focuses on a particular theme (e.g. religion, crime). Martin Mull plays a reporter after the fashion of 60-Minutes investigative TV journalism, interviewing participants as well as providing narration or commentary directly into the camera. In Part I, "In Search Of," Mull introduces the viewers to the average white family in America, the Harrisons of Hawkins Falls, Ohio. Highlights include the Harrisons hosting a backyard barbecue and interacting with their neighbors, all of whom are equally average and equally white.
