American TV in the '60s was basically "The Brady Bunch" and cigarette commercials on repeat. Even the FCC chairman called it a "vast wasteland." A group of educators and visionaries decided kids deserved better than endless reruns of "Gilligan's Island," and they created something revolutionary. When did PBS start bringing Big Bird and company into American living rooms?
