Interesting episode considering the way this series was cancelled.

Even in 82 it was pretty brave to talk about black listing on TV, they probably knew that this was their last season and said, "Why not" .

They did it on The Jeffersons and that came out in 1975 but the Willises (though played by different people than Franklin Cover and Roxie Roker) actualy made their debut on the All In The Family episode Lionel's Engagement in 1974 so this was nothing really new despite this show being in a different genre. I think there was a season 6 planned but there were gonna be some cast changes

Art Trombley Ah yes, the McCarthy-sanctioned dreaded Hollywood blacklist

Bothers me a little, though, that they'll have reporters from minority groups for specific issues, like this one raises, or the one earlier about Japanese-Americans being relocated during WWII, but then they disappear.

Actually alot of those minority groups appeared in more than one episode! Costello, Abby, That japaneese photographer? I like Costello the best. probably cause I remember the actor from my childhood on Sesame Street.

Jeff Corey, who plays Larry, was actually blacklisted in the McCarthy era. Look it up on the internet.

There’s a great episode from the Insight series called The Agitator. It’s in the Paulists Production chapter. Brian Keith and Ed Begjey were the lead actors. Father Keiser was the host and explained the crisis in the 30s where humanists were faced with the Depression and the rise of fascism in the US and abroad. It’s one of the best episodes in the series.

Interesting sidelight. Both Ed Asner and Bill Schallert were past Presidents of the Screen Actors Guild.

And Lou Grant was canceled because of Ed Asner's political stances as President of SAG kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erl3eJV3mtm4k5s.html

In the UK there is 'John Lewis' & 'Waitrose' Stores. The Founder was so scared of his Employees becoming Communists that he decided the only solution was to make them Capitalists! When you join you are given Shares & called a Partner. As for the Sex Education story, a Relationship Therapist said any Sex that isn't in a Relationship is Porn. He points out that we objectify Sex. "Did you enjoy IT?" The Liberal writers had probably never considered that Children under 16 would one day be viewing Extreme Porn or would read about Sex Acts involving Excrement.

I didn't think think that word that Abby used to describe the people that blacklisted her dad was allowed on TV even back in the 80's

25:09 - Rossi requires a remedial course on what HUAC was? Did he skip 4th grade? Pitiful. An American education ... and I'm using the word "education" quite wrongly.

@thomash.schwed3662 Жыл бұрын

I don't think that was the point of that scene. The actual point of the scene was to explain how the disgusting work of the Committee (and, for that matter, what McCarthy did in the Senate) impacted the lives of real people and their families. To do so, a synopsis the truly "Un-American Activities" perpetrated by those in Washington is in order as it sets the tone.

Well-said, Thomas. Also, I wonder if some of the younger viewers of the show (not to mention those who see it decades later) migh need some exposition on the Blacklist.

Over 1/2 of all government documents (nat'l., state & local) are classified or restricted. Think about that.

Yes, by the mother and her fellow travellers on the picket line. They were all for the First Amendment in terms of "protecting" their religious teachings, but, at the same time, completely willing to scuttle the same Amendment with respect to the free press. Not only is that hypocritical, it also lacks irony. Furthermore, while the First Amendment most certainly guarantees freedom of the press, yet it does not protect religion; it simply speaks in terms of the "establishment of religion" and "abridging the free exercise thereof". To put it another way, the government is forbidden from establishing a Theocracy in this Nation and religionists are forbidden from interfering with the affairs of state. Clearly, that is a separation. Regrettably, the picketers in this episode find their real-life counterparts ensconced within the postmodern Republican Party-part of Reagan's destructive legacy in our Nation.
