PBS documentary series - An American Family

CA

I believe that the American Icon series is compelling because it examines the nuanced nature of each "icon," candidly acknowledging and exploring the shades of grey. Some consider An American Family a pre-cursor to our present and popular reality TV; its popularity reveals much about our collective voyeurism. Are we attempting to bolster our sense of normalcy, inferiority, or superiority? Fascinating and provocative stuff.
