Have just watched a 1968 episode of Ironside, and was time-warped into a world where our heroes protected us from hippies who were criminal, violent and dangerous to decent society. It was quite a shock to be taken back to a society at war with itself, and to look at the propaganda of the 'good guys', representing decent values. The show could rank with the 20's anti-marijuana film, "The Demon Weed", I think it was called, made by the FBI. If you haven't seen it, It's a hoot. Can anyone tell me anything about the program, especially what type of sponsors the show had?
