My children were 7 and 4 when this miniseries first aired, and I let them stay up late and watch the entire thing. I thought then it was important for them to know about, and even though there was some giggling at the bare bottoms, I never regretted them seeing it. The 4-year-old is now 50, and I have grandchildren as well, and I wish it were available on streaming video so my grandchildren could see it. The fact that it is told in 5 episodes holds their attention, and is less like watching a documentary. I believe it gives children more empathy than just a history lesson. And it gives a chance for parents and children to discuss how it all came to be.
I hope it will be shown again this year and maybe released on DVD to honor Ed Asner, who died this weekend.
Maybe it was a ripoff of The Wonder Years, but it's the only 60s coming-of-age show that I recall that dealt with girls rather than boys. Such a shame it didn't last longer. The two actresses that played the central characters were perfect. I still see Mae Whitman but wonder what happened to the girl who played Hannah. I really hate it when quality shows disappear.
