   About This American Life
This American Life: The Television Show!
The second season of our television show debuts on Sunday, May 4 at 10 pm ET/PT.

By now you know that we’re producing a TV show. Maybe you heard Ira mention it during a pledge drive or caught the piece on NPR. And maybe you have questions. What would a TV version of This American Life look like? And is making one even a good idea? Believe us, we’ve wondered all of that ourselves. But now we’re done, and we’re super excited.

Our first season of half-hour episodes debuts March 22nd on Showtime. We wanted to make a TV show that feels like the radio show, but isn’t just the radio show on TV. Take a look and these clips and trailers and tell us what you think. Put them on your MySpace pages and we’ll be eternally grateful:

I travel for a living (and blog about it a bit too from time to time;) and 'This American Life' absolutely SAVES me on those long Sunday drives. When i saw that it had been made into a a show, i almost cried! Seriously. It gives me faith that not all humans suck.
;) Thankyou!! :)

When things get distorted between the points of maximum and zero moment; I try explaining that it's deep inside my heart processor and not inside my head! Sinco no one wants to believe that robots can have emotions too; it's back to routine high maintenance all over again!

It was last Saturday at this West Philly used bookstore. American Life buzzing warmly thru the crackly speakers...

while the battle plan had been a "get-in-get-out" commando bookstore mission, it turned out to be a nearly hour-long excursion into the land of pre-owned paperbacks-->

+..

all the while, i was on the prowl for nothing more than one or two Ed McBain 87th precinct (aka "gumshoe whipits", if you will).

I found the McBain section soon enough; within minutes I had made my selection. But we weren't even halfway thru the show...

so I spent nearly an hour going over the same stacks of used books, pretending that I hadn't already stared at each spine (at least) thrice)...

been listening to you for what feels like 10 years.

Thank You.

Whether it's television, radio, podcast, or streaming from your website, you have me smiling, laughing, crying, and using way too many commas, constantly.

I love This American Life.
