Primetime TV in the 70s The Bradys get groovy, The Partridge Family goes on the road, Good Times and What's Happenin' lay down some serious urban slapstick, Happy Days ignites a tidal wave of nostalgia, and reality-based sitcoms like All in the Family
show a few cracks in the American dream. Meanwhile, Mary Tyler Moore
introduces us to her surrogate workplace family, single parents like
Alice break new ground, and Aaron Spelling christens the first of his
floating love fantasies. |
