After the techno-futurism of the 1950s and the utopian 1960s vision of a ?great society,? the 1970s saw Americans turning to the past as a source for both nostalgic escapism and serious reflection on the nation?s history. While some popular works like Grease presented the relatively recent past as a more innocent time, far away from the nation?s post-Vietnam, post-Watergate malaise, others like Roots used America?s bicentennial as an occasion for deep soul-searching.   Happy Days investigates how 1970s popular culture was obsessed with America?s past but often offered radically different interpretations of the same historical events and icons.
