Has anybody else watched these? I think Tom Hanks produced them and they are pretty good. Loved the 80s. The way they explained concepts like the internet, malls, etc. is so funny.

Katie Curic and the Today Show trying to explain "what is internet?" is hilarious.

Those docs are far better than CNN's political coverage.

I watched the 80's one.

It was interesting see all the old TV shows recappped like that. Although they didn't frame it as such you really see the foundations of today's pop culture in those shows.

Loved the tech episode as well.

You should watch the TV episode from the 70s

I just finished up the 80's. Great series! The Aids episode was so sad!
