| Was informative and historical and entertaining series!

Last summer I remember watching on CNN the series "The Seventies" and even though I wasn't born until 1978 I remember reading and seeing footage and hearing about what a great 10 years that it was! And this CNN series did indeed showcase all of those moments. Episodes shown showed the TV of the 1970's and how it pushed the social buttons with series like "All in the Family", "Good Times" and "Maude" and it looked at the rise and downfall of President Nixon with one episode being on "Watergate" also showcased were the sexual revolution and the rise in crime with serial killers and mass murders happening all around the country and the series showed about personal issue like inflation and the Iran hostage situation. And the music of the 10 year period was given a look at especially the rise of rock music hard rock that is with the rise of shout it out bands like "Kiss". Overall well done series that was a tribute to the times of the 1970's.
