S1.E1 ∙ Copyright FBI

Sat, Feb 13, 2010

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE F.B.I. IS MOSTLY A MYTHICAL CONSTRUCT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED BY THE BUREAU ITSELF. A richly illustrated history of the G-Man or the Fed in popular culture: How the F.B.I. gave birth to the G man and won its notoriety. How J. Edgar Hoover wrote and supervised scripts. How the image of the agent evolved into spy catcher, gang buster, tracker of serial killers, or hunter of extra terrestrials. A voyage in its dealings with dominant media up to and beyond the copyrighting of its name in 1956. -Illustrated with excerpts from Films and T.V., radio shows and comic strips -commented by the agents themselves. An historical kaleidoscope, reawakening souvenirs of a century of pop-culture. A striking introduction.
