American Life - Season 1
This American Life is one of my favorite radio programs, produced by PRI, it airs on Public Radio stations on the weekends. I'm pleased to discover the program has been successfully transferred to television with this Showtime series starring Ira Glass. This intelligent program is a pleasing pastiche of highly entertaining stories built loosely around a theme like 'Reality Check' or 'Growth Spurt.' The format is very similar to the radio version. Poignant, funny, thought provoking, it's like a 60 Minutes for today's sensibilities. You'll be amazed by a bizarre Chicago restaurant that verbally abuses their customers, a news photographer who's haunted by some photos taken when tragedy struck, an atheist who paints magnificent paintings of Jesus, and other compelling short subjects about unusual people and places. Mild mannered Ira Glass is a genial host, an attractive personality that doesn't intrude but colors between the lines. My only regret is that this carnival didn't go on longer; another winner from Showtime, a network on a roll with some of the best shows on TV today. 6 episodes of This American Life are included on this DVD release and I can't recommend it highly enough. This DVD is exclusive to Borders upon its release on January 29, 2008 so you'll have to go to a Borders store to buy this one until it goes into wider release later in the year.
