Starting tomorrow night my favorite radio show of all time This American Life (see earlier post) is beginning a TV show. It is Thursday, 10:30 pm ET on Showtime. I would love to see this. Brad and Gregg both sent me this video link to one of the stories that they are going to be doing. You should definitely check it out. This is quintessential TAL. Whenever they do a radio show there are always these great moments in the show that are so dramatic. It will be very interesting to see how they do this on TV. I heard a few weeks ago a great interview that Terri Gross did with Ira Glass the show's host. You can listen to it here. You could also download the Fresh Air podcast. It was the February 26 episode.
If you can watch, do. If you can't watch, listen.

Those of us who DO have Showtime and DO spend a little extra money on tv look forward to this new series.
I think those who may feel that television is for stupid people, or contributes to a decline in intelligence probably aren't watching much of the amazing programming that we watch.
There are many options for those who seek programs that will enhance their knowledge, not deplete it--especially when you have 400 channels. I've learned things I never would have read about by watching beautiful programs on Science, Nature, Food, Travel, Religion, and History.
It's all about balance.
