Decades Presents 1968: Television - Part 1

"Decades Presents 1968: Television" looks back on the transformative television of the late 1960's, including the bold variety show "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour." We're also looking back on the trailblazing sitcom, Julia," about an African American nurse starring Diahann Carroll. We remember the debut of the wildly popular science-fiction series with a progressive bent, "Star Trek". We're also recalling the hit spy show that audiences couldn't get enough of, Mission: Impossible." And we sit down with Micky Dolenz for a look back on the trendsetting show about a teenage band, "The Monkees."

I was born in October 1968. Too small to remember.

I was 6, and then 7 for the last part of 1968 (early October on) but I remember so well, The Smothers Brothers and Laugh-In, etc. Even at that age, I picked up on a feeling of controversy and censorship, to some degree... very interesting.

Ben Lee Haa! I didn't even think of that... I just meant it was in general, good one!!

[@sharondrury5676]

OMG I forgot about Pat Paulson. He looked just like Biden. Who knew he was forecasting the future. I wonder how’d the Smothers brothers would feel about our stupid cancel culture.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Didn't they also talk about the backlash against "violence on television" following the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy assassinations?
