The Persuaders and They Made America
PBS has two shows that look like a lot of fun:
Frontline's The Persuaders promises a look at the "world of today's marketers and advertisers."
They Made America is the companion to Harold Evans' book of the same name. American history is filled with the stories of influential innovators, whose ideas and entrepreneurial spirit gave birth to commercial milestones like the steamboat and cultural touchstones like the Barbie doll. Twelve of these individuals are profiled in They Made America, a four-part television series from the producers of American Experience.
