I'm a fan of "This American Life," an NPR radio show people seem to either love or hate. They started a tv show a year ago (two?), and are doing both now.

Today I happened to notice that Season 2 is available for instant viewing on Netflix, so I watched the first two episodes. I think they're definitely worthwhile.

The second one I watched, particularly, was interesting to me. It's called "Two Wars" and has two acts. The first follows an Iraqi citizen studying in the US; he travels around with a small booth that says "Talk to an Iraqi." Can be a little difficult to watch, if only because the ignorance level overtops the levee from time to time.

The second act is brief, funny, and enlightening: it's about an immigrant from Bulgaria and how he views the Great American Lawn.
