I just watched the 1980s episode of CNN's new series on sports through the decades. The sports fan in me will likely watch the other episodes, this series looks far less interesting than the previous series produced by Tom Hanks and partners. While the series on music, TV, politics and other topics were interesting largely because there were clips of the songs, programs and events the talking heads were talking about. But not so with this series, it appears. The 1980s show had talking heads and still photos of that decade's major events and trends in the major US sports -- even a minute or two on the Gretzky trade to LA. But there was previous little footage of actual action. Either the producers could not buy most of the rights, or were too cheap to. In any event, a pretty dull hour of TV.
