Ep. 27 - That's Entertainment! TV Variety Shows of the 70s

The heyday of the TV variety show was, without a doubt, the 70s. It seemed as if every entertainer either had their own show or was on someone else's. While at the time they may have seemed a bit corny, they also seemed to be just what many Americans in the 70s were in the mood for in the wake of assassinations, Watergate, and the war in Vietnam. Looking back at the era, we can also see that these shows give us a glimpse into 70s culture, making them an important part of 70s history. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amy-lively/message
