In the late 1960s, the BBC produced this magisterial series. I learn something new from it every time I watch it. The entire series is on YouTube and well worth the twelve hours. They would never do something like this today.

Bumpski for later.
Speaking of things we can’t do today, I was thinking the other day of the lyrics to “Johnny Get Angry.”
Remember?
Johnny, I said we were through
Just to see what you would do
You stood there and hung your head
Made me wish that I were dead
Oh, Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a cave man
Johnny, show me that you care, really care for me
Every time you danced with me
You let Freddy cut in constantly
When he’d ask, you’d never speak
Oh, must you always be so meek?
Every girl wants someone who
She can always look up to
You know I love you, of course
Let me know that you’re the boss
A true classic.
J. Bronowski’s Ascent of Man Series in that same vein was also very educational.
Ascent of Man is its scientific counterpart. Both series formed the basis of our homeschooling curriculum.
Thanks so very much for posting this.
