It's timeless and if you are member of amazon you can watch every episode. So if you got little ones in the family........
My husband and I said the same thing. Obviously I knew NOTHING because I always thought it was kind of a dorky show. I had no idea he covered current issues of the day like that. When I was in college I lived right down the street from him and had friends who knew him and his wife very well and even vacationed with them. So through them, I came to know what a wonderful man he was but never had the pleasure of meeting him myself. Still this movie was very revealing to me about how great a man he really was. Glad we watched it.

Thanks for the info about amazon. I was wondering about that, actually even for myself let alone the little ones. His messages to me seemed both timeless and ageless.
