Film History: 1970's

This week in film history class we'll be looking at the 1970's in film and television and we'll be starting off with the birth of Saturday Night Live which began in 1975.  The seventies saw soap operas, science fiction, and game shows flourish while westerns and classics died on television but politics stepped onto the small screen in SNL and shows like All In The Family so we'll take a look at what was going on at the time and how it was reflected.
