Summary: TVC 527.1: Ed welcomes novelist, essayist, and TV historian Mitchell Hadley. Mitchell’s latest book, The Electronic Mirror: What Classic TV Tells US About Who We Were and Who We Are (and Everything in Between), is a series of essays that take a look at what classic television is, what it says about the culture that produced it, and why the shared experience of television that marked the lives of so many of us who came of age in a three-network TV universe is often lost on viewers today. Topics this segment include why shows Route 66 and The Fugitive provide a better window into the culture of the 1960s than modern-day shows such as Mad Men. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
