SEASON ONE (1985):
Part I, "In Search Of": Mull introduces the viewers to the average white family in America, the Harrisons of Hawkins Falls, Ohio. Highlights include the Harrisons hosting a backyard barbecue and interacting with their neighbors, all of whom are equally average and equally white.
Part II, "A Closer Look": The Harrisons are shown reacting to appearing on television in Part I, with Mull explaining how "getting in touch" with their whiteness has changed them. Daughter Debbie uses her increased confidence to win election as president of her high school's student council, where she arbitrarily enacts edicts including mandatory deodorant dispensers for the student bathrooms, "especially the boys." Wife and mother Joyce Harrison begins a support network for other women in the neighborhood to explore what being white means to them, beginning with the members of her Amway group.

Martin Mull Presents The History Of White People In America, also known as The History of White People in America, was a series of 30-minute mockumentary-style vignettes, first broadcast, beginning in 1985, on Cinemax. Martin Mull Presents The History Of White People In America, Part 1: In Search Of was broadcast June 4, 1985 at 9:30 PM. It was hosted by Martin Mull, and starred Fred Willard, Mary Kay Place, Amy Lynne, Christian Jacobs, and Edie McClurg. It was written and produced by Martin Mull and Allen Rucker, and directed by Harry Shearer. Mull's wife Wendy Haas contributed the music. The History of White People in America was done in the style of documentaries about minorities in the United States. The focus is a family of empty-headed white people clueless about the complexities of the world around them. Each 30-minute segment focuses on a particular theme (e.g. religion, crime). Martin Mull plays a reporter after the fashion of 60-Minutes investigative TV journalism, interviewing participants as well as providing narration or commentary directly into the camera.
