The Adams Chronicles

Four generations of a founding family

Winner of four Emmys® and a Peabody, The Adams Chronicles created a sensation when it debuted in 1976. Lauded by contemporary critics as “the ideal and highest-rated series in the history of American public television,” its vitality and historical integrity now prove timeless. This lavish series dramatizes four generations of Adamses and 150 years of American history from the birth of the Revolution through the Gilded Age. You meet John Adams — passionate revolutionary and second president; John Quincy Adams — proud son of a famous dad and sixth president; Charles Francis Adams — skillful minister to Great Britain during the Civil War; and Henry and Charles Francis Adams, Jr. — historian and railroad magnate, respectively.

Going well beyond politics, this tv masterpiece portrays these men as husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons, as well as leaders. Based on the family’s personal diaries and correspondence, The Adams Chronicles not only educates as a true historical epic, but also captivates as a fully human family saga.
