This American Life on television, it’s here! The first episode is available to watch for free on the Showtime website.
I was really pleased with how well the show has translated to video. They really have done an outstanding job capturing the mood, feel and content of the radio show, while integrating visual imagery. Do I like it as much as the radio show? I’ll hold off for a few more episodes, but I’m pretty hopeful.
The only issue I have is that it’s on Showtime. There’s nothing else on Showtime I’m interested in… is it worth paying for Showtime just for TAL on TV? Hmmm.
