Classic TV: CBS Reports (1959)

 We did a piece on this next item before, but had to take it down because the subject matter was removed by YouTube. Maybe not so this time.

CBS Reports was a series of news specials that began in 1959, and continued into the 80's before being cancelled and brought back a few years later.

Most of the time, the subject matter reflected the issues of the day, be it Vietnam, politics, etc.. In this 1982 offering, Morley Safer (60 Minutes) visits the set of NBC frosh Family Ties, and interviews series creator Gary David Goldberg. Safer notes early on that ABC wasn't interested in participating. Envy, maybe?


Rating: A.
