History

The CNN Original Series The Seventies will examine the decade through its politics, culture and historic events. The 1970s were known for extremes, perhaps nowhere more than on television. PBS and C-SPAN launched, but so did "The Love Boat" and "Three's Company". Look back at some of the programs and personalities that defined television in the decade.
