Part of an early 1980s cable TV series hosted by Dick Cavett. This episode is about the journalism in the United States from the beginning through when this program was produced in 1981.
I used to watch these on HBO 40 years ago. Dick Cabot is my favorite narrator to this day. Sadly, this stuff is largely forgotten and not even available on DVD. He had a "Time Was..." series on HBO Nov 1979 - May 1980 with one episode for each decade 1920-1970.
I used to watch this too as kid. This show has been circulating in my mind since the mid 80’s. I decided to search the song “Remember When” on google and here I am. Brings back memories.
I'm pretty sure it was narrated by Dick Cavett, not Dick Cabot. I only point this out because there *IS* a somewhat famous person named Dick Cabot. But the long time narrator for different series and tv host that narrated this was Dick Cavett.
