Newspaper Article
TELEVISION REVIEW; What Could Be Better Than Brooklyn?
1995
Overview
Fond memories, funny home movies and zesty newsreels lend a glow to \"Brooklyn,\" the latest episode in PBS's engaging series \"New York the Way It Was.\" The focus is on the 1930's and 40's. Youngsters of the time, who appear tonight in their advanced years, did not have lots of toys, never mind videos or television, but they did have candy stores to hang around in, a park to picnic in, an ocean to swim in and a great cafeteria for dating. Their parents had a local newspaper to read and local beers to drink. \"Brooklyn,\" more upbeat than probing, ends with the changes brought by the 1950's exodus to Long Island and the arrival of new Brooklynites of many backgrounds, religions and shades. There's no local team to root for, no trolleys to hitch onto and no Brooklyn Eagle to read, but Coney Island, Prospect Park and Sheepshead Bay still beckon, and there's still something to be said for being young. One can only hope that the children growing up in Brooklyn the way it is will be able to look back with as much pleasure on their New York, the way it was.
