Bill Moyers retires 4/30 Thank you for the best show on TV

Rate: 4 Flag

Bill Moyers Journal is ending its run this Friday April 30th, with it goes one of the best, most insightful, educational shows television has ever seen.  In an era dominated by reality shows, and punditry, Bill Moyers Journal represents the best of what television can do for society. 

Every single time I watch an episode of Bill Moyers, I feel smarter. I feel well informed.   I want to tell everyone around me what I have just seen, and how it changed my viewpoint, because I think it will change their as well.  I wish it was a requirement for everyone in America (and especially everyone in Washington) to watch Bill Moyers Journal every week.  There is no other show on television that affects me in this manner.  I cannot imagine calling a friend on the phone to discuss any show ever on FOX NEWS, CNN, or MSNBC, but I frequently do so with Bill Moyers Journal. 

Thank you so much Bill Moyers.  You have changed my life.  You will be missed.  Enjoy your retirement!

Bill Moyers is a National Treasure. Sad to see him go. His reporting and rational voice are second to none. I hadn't heard this, so thanks for the heads up.
It will be sad to see Moyer's go. It may be even sadder to see his replacement. I'm not sure who it will be, but there was a rumor that it was going to be some right winger.
He is going to discuss his replacement next week, I will give them a chance for Bill's sake, but there is no way it can be as good as his show. This is very sad news, but I only wish him the best. He deserves a great retirement, and I hope he enjoys it.
