This course visits some of the groundbreaking TV series that presented humanities and sciences to global mass audiences in the 1960s and 1970s, when color television emerged as a cultural presence. We study the role of television as a still new and potentially disruptive medium, and examine works of art and media criticism that laid the groundwork for major conceptual and theoretical re-mappings of the fields of cultural and visual studies.
