I've been watching way too much TV the past 2 weeks as I got a nasty case of bronchitis and had to stay in a lot. There is so much krap on TV, but I started to watch Lisa Ling's CNN documentary series, "This is Life" (earlier ones were "Our America", I believe - I watched a few of those as well) and thought YAY, a gem of a series in a sea of garbage.

Very well done series. Lisa Ling is excellent.

Just an FYI, if you're inclined.

Re: This Is Life with Lisa Ling

Everything she does is top notch. I know what you mean about so much krap on TV these days. It's refreshing to stumble upon something worth watching. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, TG. It's slow going. This bug is tenacious!

I have her show on my DVR queue as I want to see them all.

I agree, Lisa's shows are excellent.

I have an ENT appt tomorrow as I can't shake it. He'll fix me up.

I haven't had so much as a sniffle in over three years.

Sounds like a great track record! Hope the ENT gets you hale and hearty for the holidays!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

My niece and I were just talking about Lisa Ling yesterday, and how much we enjoy her shows. If I miss one, I look for it on OnDemand. Her topics are so interesting.

I need to look for her shows. She was one of my favorite hosts on The View, always interesting.

I think she has a new one this Friday on CNN. Not sure of the time.

I caught her older show, "Our America" on the OWN network. I didn't realize it had been on for 5 years.

She's so great with the people she profiles.
