Review of The '60s

For weeks prior to the premiere of The 60's I heard a lot of hype about how it was going to be an accurate portrayal of the 1960's. There was so much hype surrounding the mini-series, yet I found that when I watched it, the program did not live up to its intents. The storyline followed too much on the romantic relationships of the characters and not enough on what they were doing at the time. Everything I read and heard about the program did not indicate that there would also be a focus on a black family, however, when I read my T.V. guide it said that The 60's would be about the lives of a

white and black family during the time frame. While watching the program I noticed that the focus was mainly on the white family and that the black family was seldom included. All in all I found this program to have had too much hype and not enough show for four hours of my time, there was however, an excellent soundtrack.
