By the end of the ‘60s, the bulk of CBS’s most watched programming consisted of “country” type shows like Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies. They were massively popular, but also completely irrelevant to the lives of almost everyone in the country at the time.

Gil Scott-Heron called them out in 1970’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, which is kind of ironic, because what happened to those shows next actually was kind of revolutionary, and everyone who owned a television got to see it.

To put it simply, CBS cancelled all of their highly rated hillbilly shows in one fell swoop and replaced them with shows that were more of a reflection of what life in America was like at that time. Quite awesomely, we’ve come to know this moment in television history as the Rural Purge.
