Another fascinating glance back in this exclusive HBO series. This time with full reflection - the advent of television - and how it changed the face of the world. Once again Dick Cavett is your host as we remember: Senator Joe McCarthy - Nixon's "Checkers" speech - the Korean War - the start of the "space race" and the beginnings of the fight for Civil Rights. Ike. Milton Berle. Willy Mays. Marilyn and Marlon and Elvis. Everything as it was in the Fifties.
