Any Fans of CBS's Sunday Morning?

[gleem]

I have been meaning to start this thread for a long time. For decades one of my favorite TV shows as been the CBS's "Sunday Morning" a TV magazine program aired as you would suppose on Sunday morning. It features short segments about the arts including the visual, dance, music as well as human interest stories featuring the famous and not so famous interview with celebrities about their work and interest and some times even about science. For example today they interviewed John Wiliams composer and conductor about his works and his collaboration with the renowned violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, Renee Zellweger about her upcoming movie of Judy Garland. Also a look back stage at the new movie "Downton Abbey", interviewed Mark Knopfler songwriter and former lead guitarist of Dire Straits (early 80's), and finally a segment of the type that I particularly enjoy on the establishment of the Patagonia National Park in Chile by Americans and former Patagonia apparel company CEO Kristine McDevitt Tompkins and her husband former CEO of North Face apparel company Doug Tompkins with land purchased with their own money and donated to Chilean government.

Who else enjoys this program? What do you find the most interesting. If you are not familiar with it I invite you to watch a few episodes. If it is not broadcast in your area you can get the content on their website https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/

You can get access to Mark Knopfler's new album "Down the Road Wherever" here.

I like this program too. Only downside is, sometimes I get sucked in and don't get my Sunday chores done

It has been on the air for 40 years! And only 3 different hosts.

While I like Jane Pauley very much, and Charles Osgood equally, neither is quite as good as was the founding host Charles Kuralt . He was just perfect...
Incidentally if you want to gain renewed respect for reporters I recommend Charles Kuralt autobiography On the Road

I always enjoyed Charles Kuralt's "On the Road"

I guess I think of him a bit iike "Mr Rogers" but for adults (pardon if that is too parochial to make sense). ...
In the autobiography he details some of his reporting from Vietnam during the war. Hard to picture that soft spoken, slightly pudgy guy in the middle of a firefight, but lord he has tales to tell. We are all better off for it.
