Introduction

This is the introductory blog for the 1960 site.

A little background.....
As a cinephile, I would hypervenilate when I walked into a video store. That already dates me since video stores don't seem to exist anymore and since I worship at the altar of Netflix. Whenever I went into a wonderful video store, such as Facets in Chicago, I could never decide what to check out. For someone who likes a sense of order in his life.....and who likes to self-educate based on some sense of constency I decided to pick a year - and see everything I possibly could on DVD for that give year. I have completed the years 1950, 1929 and 1930. I learned a hell of a lot and gained a knowledge of the year that I could not possibly have had if I had just arbitrarily started picking DVD's.

Well, I am currently in 1960. Since this is a year in which television was in full fruition I also decided to try to see all of the television shows I could. What I want to share is my views and perspectives on what I viewed in that given year as I actually watch and think about the films and television shows. I hope this makes sense...
