I remember watching this on my portable TV in my dorm room at Southwestern Oklahoma State. There had been such a build-up to it in the media including Newsweek, that I had to watch it. The Day After, which aired November 20, 1983, was a scary movie because it is one of the first to show the horrors of a nuclear holocaust and the fallout afterwards. I think it got people thinking seriously about nuclear war with the Soviet Union and how we could avoid it.
It is still one of the most-watched shows of all time (not counting miniseries) and garned 12 Primetime Emmys, winning two of them.
