Film History: Classic TV, Movies & Milestones
Welcome to our Film History hub. Here you’ll find quick looks at the shows and cinema facts that shaped the screen we love today. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a history buff, these short reads give you the highlights without the fluff.
TV Shows That Changed the Way We Watch
One of the biggest turning points was "I Love Lucy". It broke the rule that sitcoms had to be broadcast live and became the first comedy filmed for later airing. That move let producers edit, re‑shoot scenes, and reach a national audience week after week. The result? A format we still use for sitcoms, sitcom reruns, and streaming series.
Another landmark series is M*A*S*H. Ending in 1983, it proved a drama could mix humor, war, and deep emotion while keeping millions glued to their seats. Its final episode set a record for TV viewership that still feels huge today. The show also introduced a softer, character‑driven storytelling style that many modern dramas follow.
