> Any show that is to capture the essence of the 60’s will have to concentrate on the monstrously bloated sense of self-importance that some young people had in those times, and that they carry through now to late middle age. Walloon was right. 1968 had little to differentiate it from 1967 or 1969 for most Americans.

But that “monstrously bloated sense of self-importance” is one of the things that could make the show **funny!**

Maybe we could get Harlan Ellison to write it . . .
