This program looks back on American life by way of old public domain newsreels, films and public/civic documentaries. Each episode contains one or more snippets showing the way American life used to be. Whether it is a look at dating in the 50’s or the use of good table manners, the construction of the 1964 World’s fair in New York, or everyone’s favorite TV commercials from the 40s and 50s, there is something for everyone.
