Overview
HBO's eight-part monthly series recalls the places, the people and the events relevant to eight major strands in America's cultural and social fabric -- cowboys, radio, transportation, sex, journalism, sports, inventions and advertising -- via newsreel clips, period music, theatrical movie sequences, and on-location shootings. Host Dick Cavett steps in and out of historic scenes in this follow-up to his earlier HBO series entitled Time Was.
