Review of Insight

Insight (I) (1960–1984)
AMAZING AND PURE PROPAGANDA
25 April 2002
I was amazed to finally find some facts on this program that effected me as a teen. I had not realized that the program was 'Insight' and I always remembered the episode as 'The Rose Colored Glasses' but evidently was wrong all these years. Typing in Beau Bridges brought up the episode 'The Poker Game'!! And yep, that is/was it. Several older fellows playing poker with a younger man wearing rose colored glasses eventually become fed up with his radical views and decide he is a bit of a slacker representing the tangibility of the much talked about 'Generation Gap' of the time. In short a 'revolutionary/radical/hippy'. I think he was berated at one point as 'seeing life through rose colored glasses' which was not at all what the group of men considered acceptable, being members of the 'establishment'. I believe the show certainly helped inspire a generation (along with "Easy Rider") to vote for Bill Clinton 24 years later. Thank you IMDB, and Mike, and Kenneth, for allowing me to touch this puzzle that has been on my mind all these years. [I sure would like to see the episode again, but I have no clue as to how to make that happen. Please write me if anyone has knowledge.] Thanx again. Greg.
