You're welcome here anytime, Mr. Prince (of course, after you've successfully fought to keep "American Dreams" on the air for another season).

In a Slice of the 60's, Hold the Nostalgia

Mr. Prince described his political bent without hedging: "I'm a staunch left-leaning liberal Democrat." But he said the show wasn't meant to reflect those views. "The red states think that this is their show, because it's about family values," he said. "And the blue states think it's their show because it's about a sister protesting an unjust war that her brother's fighting in. I'm content to live on both sides of the aisle."

He will need viewers of all party affiliations to watch "American Dreams" for the rest of the season if it is to be renewed. He said he was hopeful. "I've produced a lot of shows, and I've had a lot of failures," he said. "And I know how and when to give up. With this one, I can't give up."

In telling this 40-year-old story, Mr. Prince said, the series "became the most contemporary show on the network." He listed the analogous threads between then and now, as he has written them into the show: "This nasty little war we're fighting in '63 and '64, like the war in Iraq, starts to feel like this isn't going to be a quickie. You have a country that's divided. And if you don't agree with the Texas president, you're un-American."
