Step into the gritty streets of 1960s New York City with East Side/West Side, one of the most acclaimed and socially important television dramas of its era. Starring legendary actor George C. Scott in one of his earliest leading television roles, this groundbreaking CBS series tackled difficult urban issues rarely shown on television at the time.
Set within the neighborhoods of New York City, the series follows dedicated social worker Neil Brock as he helps struggling families, troubled youth, and forgotten citizens facing poverty, discrimination, crime, addiction, and hardship. The show earned critical praise for its realism and fearless storytelling and featured powerful performances by Cicely Tyson, Elizabeth Wilson, James Earl Jones, Gene Hackman, Diana Sands, and many others.
Though the series lasted only one season, it remains one of the most respected dramatic television programs of the early 1960s and was later recognized by TV Guide as one of television’s greatest shows cancelled too soon.
