The spin came later. Did this happen with the shows we grew up with? Was All in the Family one of the first shows showing the strong political differences? My dad who was a life long union democrat repeated that Stevenson was too much of an egg head. Before I left for college he told me that unions are a good thing no matter what they say. It was also the era of McCarthy & Pete Seeger protest songs.

AitF was the first “raw” show with an edge; MASH was also pretty raw.

I miss the protest songs…
