    Charles Kuralt brings back wonderful memories. Recall parents & inlaws listening to him every Sunday. Wish you'd resurrect more of his pieces from your archives & share him with us.... Spouse is a photographer & he enjoyed this very much ( me too).

    I miss this fellow. I watched Sunday Mornings with him on it. It's sooooo Great to see and hear him once again!

    Thank you for this for so many reasons, chief among them is to see and hear Charles Kuralt again. I'd forgotten about "The Americans" and see them both differently and with a degree of familiarity. I liked being reminded of something a musician friend said to me a few years ago. "Music is like cheese. It's everywhere. How can you appreciate cheese if there's no way to get away from it?" At first, the lack of music was noticeable and then it became a blessing. One doesn't need music to suggest how one should react to photos any more than one needs cheese to appreciate a hamburger.
    But most of all, thank you for bringing back, at least for 10 minutes, Charles Kuralt and his look on life. Odd to say, maybe, but I do miss him, especially now.

      On the road thru small towns I'll take a pic of a lonely motel room or laundromat and think " Robert Frank would like this" ;))

    And still those times seemed more humble and beautiful in its own way. Fewer luxuries and more good hearted people who would show mercy,love,and compassion. It just seems like with more people struggling then that it brought out the best in some people and provided strength from Faith.

      "...where the sun always shown" showing the bad side of American or the more natural side of America

    Black & White photography seems to inherently elicit dreariness. Shadows prevail. Case in point: The colorfully illustrated books “A day in the Life Of America.”

    Ahh... 40s, 50s and 60s... back when 100% of Americans owned America.

    The problem is, Frank only showed a (thin) slice of America and yet painted the whole country with a broad brush. The outcome is not only unrepresentative, but it is also very negative in tone. A real downer.

      He traveled the whole country, many of the pictures are very representitive. Life's a bit of a downer my guy. Pain is everywhere, even in america yes.

      he showed all kinds of people from almost every single state in america. It’s you that lives in a small bubble and believes that your perspective of america is the correct one
