Slattery's People (1964)
A memorable opening line
8 March 2007 - 10 out of 14 users found this review helpful.
If my memory serves--I was 12 at the time--the show opened with a voice over, maybe Crenna's, saying something to the effect that democracy was a terrible form of government: messy, wasteful, etc. BUT, all other forms of government were so much worse. As a callow, Beatle-crazed teen, this was the first time that I recall understanding irony.
I remember that my father watched the show religiously every week. I'm still grateful that he did. I think "Slattery's People" helped to develop my political conscience.
Why aren't these kinds of shows released to DVD?
Why are there 14,000 episodes of "Friends"?
