Yet such historical television programs always reveal just as much about the era in which they are produced as the era in which they are set; there are few more quintessentially late-90s shows than That ?70s Show, for example. From Memory to History takes readers on a journey through over fifty years of historical dramas and sitcoms that were set in earlier decades of the twentieth century. Along the way, it explores how comedies like M*A*S*H and Hogan?s Heroes offered veiled commentary on the Vietnam War, how dramas ranging like Mad Men echoed current economic concerns, and how The Americans and Halt and Catch Fire used the Cold War and the rise of the internet to reflect upon the present day. Cultural critic Jim Cullen is lively, informative, and incisive, and this book will help readers look at past times, present times, and prime time in a new light. 606 $aTelevision and history$zUnited States 606 $aTelevision programs$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y20th century 610 $atelevision, tv, film, The Waltons, seventies, Mad Men, That 70's Show, 70's, 30's, 2010s, Nineties, tv shows, television shows, cable, United States, popular culture, MASH, How Hogan?s Heroes, sitcom, The Americans, series, entertainment, programming, cable tv, channel, network, family sitcom, broadcast, Twentieth Century. 615 0$aTelevision and history 615 0$aTelevision programs$xHistory 676 $a791.45750973 700 $aCullen$b Jim$f1962-$01144308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795364103321 996 $aFrom memory to history$93807836 997 $aUNINA
