NPR without the pledge drives Viewers of last year’s painfully horrible PBS animated series based on the informative and entertaining NPR auto repair call-in show “Car Talk” might understandably be gun shy regarding the terrific “This American Life” series on the premium cable network Showtime. NPR listeners like you and the Pugh Charitable Trust know that this show is based on the show of the same name, which Ira Glass hosts. The second season of “Life” is being released on DVD on July 21 and addresses interesting topics in a great style of storytelling. The season premiere episode “Escape” opens with a segment on inner-city Philadelphia boys, who likely share my love of Philadelphia-based Tasty Kake snack foods, who escape the city by riding horses in a city park. The main story of “Escape” is a severely disabled 26 year-old man who communicates primarily through typing in messages on a specialized computer; fulfilling his wish that Johnny Depp read those messages was way cool and very nice of this highly successful actor. The focus of the story was on the understandable desire of the man to gain some independence from his mother who is with him virtually 24/7. He deserves a hearty “atta boy” for hiring an assistant and getting a truly sweet girlfriend who he met on line. The six-episode season of “Life” ends with a clever approach to looking at a complete life by looking at a series of different males named John Smith who range in age from being infants to being elderly. The perspectives of the boys and men are not unduly insightful but remind us of our views at various stages in our lives. This segment was particularly relevant to me because I watched it on a milestone birthday and while I am reading a memoir called “Cabin Pressure” in which a 34 year-old former camper and counselor at a camp in Maine returns there for one last hurrah. In my case, I had a strong association with the facility formerly known as Camp Interlocken that changed its name in a way that would have made calling it Camp Welostalawsuit appropriate. Anyone who wants to film a segment on a TV on DVD reviewer who shares his coastal Massachusetts home with two cats and has the hobby of trying regional candies or anyone who simply has questions or comments regarding “Life” is encouraged to e-mail tvdvdguy@gmail.com.
