    Brilliant Comedy Ahead Of It's Time

    McLean Stevenson took a leap of faith with this brilliant comedy that took humor and plugged it into a morality tale dealing lightly with religion and social justice. Humor is the best way to make a point and In The Beginning does just that saying again in a breezy way that we are all responsible for how we relate to each other. Why can't the streaming services make these old shows available?
