    I am too young to know. I had to catch reruns as a kid in the 70s. Both were bold, awesome choices.

    The 1960s were peak cold war, fear the Russians type shit. To put it in perspective, the Cuban missile crisis happened just a few years prior! People were building fallout shelters in their back yards at this point.

    What I love is that none of the characters call special attention to it on the show. In that time is totally normal and expected and no big deal. That’s the kind of world I want to live in where all these differences are accepted and everyone is cool with everyone. (Minus the blatant misogyny obvs)
