From time to time, we give a “rave” review to a TV show, hoping that the favorable writeup will interest other viewers in also watching it. If it turns out to be to their liking, they might decide to include it in their “should see” list.

In the past, we’ve cited such exceptional shows as “60 Minutes,” “Saturday Night Live” and Christiane Amanpour’s programs.

This week, we’d like to add another title to that short list—Bloomberg channel’s “Studio I.O.,” hosted by Emily Chang. We caught the  show last month and found it an exceptionally substantial and thought-provoking viewing treat.

It appears to be a business-oriented production, of which we already have quite a number. —But, it’s better than most because its host is exceptionally perceptive, articulate and insightful, and its featured interviewees are great.

When we watched it, for instance, Chang’s guest was Tony Fadell, who was a bigwig at Apple before he became an even bigger wig at Google.

Fadell wasn’t just a rich source of information and eyewitness accounts of digital history in the making, he was also dynamic and unusually articulate—an interviewer’s dream!

Chang and Fadell are outstanding separately—but, together on Chang’s  show, they came up with a truly memorable interaction! —Try this Bloomberg show on for size, why don’t you?

‘Green Living’

Also worth recommending is “Green Living” on ANC, hosted by Paolo Abrera. We’ve been watching this magazine show fairly regularly, and can vouch for its consistency as an authoritative showcase and platform for proactive individuals, companies and movements that seek to “save the planet.”

With global warming negatively affecting our collective survival prospects, “Green Living” is a should-see production—except for ostriches who prefer to bury their heads in “in-denial” holes, or hermits who live in caves, or pale lizards under rocks!
