The Bear. Abbott Elementary. Shogun. Hacks. Only Murders in the Building. The Crown.

Big new players on the changing TV ballfield. (Whatever “TV” means anymore, right?) For each of these and scores of other series, though, there’s a history that connects to television’s own. This course tracks it, offering a conversational and video-heavy look at a century of television in biographical form. From its 1920s conception to its 1940s infancy to its 1970s adolescent rebellion to its mid-life crisis and re-invention in the early 2000s, this is the bio of the one person we’ve all met and yet want to know more about: TV. Tune in for the clips, the discussions, and, of course, the memories!
