|The six-part documentary was created by David Hoffman, who has admitted to being personally involved in the events of that time period.<ref>In his opening statement on his YouTube channel videos showing portions of the video, he says: "I am very proud of the TV series I made for PBS called Making Sense of the Sixties. I had the chance to spend a year examining my youth and how I became an active member of the 60s generation. If you are from that generation or a child of the 60s, I think you would find the entire series of value. To see my other work visit www.theHoffmancollection.com".</ref> He repeats the same liberal talking points about the [[1960s]], whether by claiming that the 1950s were stifling, making the 1960s inevitable, or by claiming the 1960s as a time of freedom and calling the early times innocent. Protestors against the Vietnam War, among them feminists (with at least one of the feminists, an air stewardess, falsely implying that women weren't allowed to pursue medical and science-related jobs during the 1950s, despite stating at the same time that nursing and air stewardess being two of only four jobs they were allowed to pursue besides being a stay at home mom, both of which required at least some degree of rudimentary medical knowledge for treating illnesses and injuries.), are portrayed positively as well.

|''NET Journal''
|1966–1970
|[[National Educational Television|NET]]
|
|Series which produced many controversial documentaries that slanted heavily liberal/left-wing and drew a great deal of negative criticism, yet not surprisingly also drew much praise from liberal reviewers.
|-
|''Public Broadcast Laboratory''
|1967–1969
|NET
|
|Hybrid news/documentary magazine show which, like ''NET Journal'', aired controversial Left-leaning documentaries. Its debut episode featured a racist drama featuring black actors painted up in whiteface, a reversal of blackface-painted actors from minstrel shows and early Hollywood movies. Not all NET affiliates carried the series; in fact, NET stations in South Carolina and Georgia refused to air the debut episode due to its controversial content.<ref>[https://www.tvobscurities.com/spotlight/pbl-public-broadcast-laboratory/ PBL (Public Broadcast Laboratory)] at Television Obscurities</ref>
