I wasn't able to watch it myself. That's too bad that the entire documentary wasn't shown, I was under the impression that it would be aired from start to finish. I wonder if in subsequent airings if they were still fundraising or if it was played from start to finish.

The only one I haven't watched yet is Life Running Out of Control. I was disappointed in the other three segments. They were "hooks" for fund-raising. I know that Link has to support itself and I have no problem with a drive to raise money but there was nothing anywhere that indicated the programs weren't full-length. I figured out, from the fact that The Real Dirt on Farmer John is 82 minutes long, 30 minutes wasn't going to get it. Each segment, so far, has been a series of clips with interviews and the pledge drive interspersed. Link TV has some compelling programs but this wasn't up to their standard.

I'm posting this on my favorite forum so everyone that wants to can get in on it. I'm recording it, too.

Thanks for the heads up! The DVR is set to capture them all. This should be essential viewing for anyone who eats or cooks food.
