1964: "Television Reflects Social Change"

Explore how the changes in society in the 1960s were reflected in popular sitcoms, such as “The Addams Family” and “Bewitched,” in this video from American Experience: “1964.” Metaphorically, the shows dealt with issues, such as neighbors who were different and the empowerment (and oppression) of women. The rise of television as the primary means of news and entertainment affected both family life and politics. This resource is part of the American Experience Collection.
