Maybe a show that demonstrates the shift from strictly (or mostly) episodic
television storytelling. The Sopranos is often cited here, but there may be
better choices.

I teach a History of Pop Music elective in my middle school. I’m contemplating
a companion elective centered around television. Throwing this concept open to
this group.
Looking at about ten hours of content (one hour a week for one quarter of the
academic school year).
Do I go chronologically from early early years to the present day, or do I
focus on a different genre each class (drama, sitcom, talk show)?
Most iconic shows? The ones that need to be preserved in a time capsule? A day
devoted to the worst TV shows?
I feel like I need to include the following: MASHJohnny CarsonNYPD BlueWheel of
FortuneMonty PythonThe Cosby Show Star TrekThe Real WorldWide World of
SportsThe OJ Simpson trialCronkite announcing the death of JFK
People will probably also want me to include:I Love LucyMilton Berle Bob Hope

Open to any and all ideas
