    Sons and Daughters

    Share

    1 9 7 4 (USA)
    13 x 60 minute episodes

    It’s the 1950s, Eisenhower is in the White House, teenagers double-date at the malt shop, and Jeff Reed (Gary Frank) and Anita Cramer (Glynnis O’Connor) are going steady.

    At the same time they are dealing with difficult family readjustments: Jeff’s father has just died of a heart attack, and Anita’s mother has left her husband and daughter and moved in with another man.

    Debuting on CBS on Wednesday 11 September 1974, Sons and Daughters followed Anita, Jeff and an assortment of classmates through their senior year at Southwest High.

    Each episode was a self-contained drama, but the leading characters – and their problems – continued from one week to the next. Accompanied wherever they went by the pop music hits of the day, of course.

    Sh-boom sh-boom, ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta ya-ta-ta . . .
