30 Days

More good TV: 30 Days on F/X.

A. and I saw Morgan Spurlock’s outstanding movie Supersize Me last year and swore off junk foods (for at least a couple of months.) In the movie, Spurlock went on an all-McDonalds diet for a month, with predictably dire consequences.

In 30 Days, Spurlock uses the same “30 days in a lifestyle” immersive concept to dramatize societal issues — minimum wage in the pilot, steriods and anti-aging therapies in the most recent episode. His next one is about a man who lives the life of a Muslim in America for 30 days.

Highly recommended.

It takes a little Tivo-fu to get this recorded, because it’s on at the same time as Lost. At least F/X is good enough to repeat the episode a few times through the week.
