Looking Back

The season begins with "LOOKING BACK," a trip through IN THE LIFE's colorful early years, when the show evolved from a fledging variety show to an Emmy-nominated newsmagazine. IN THE LIFE sits down with the show's creator John Scagliotti, former Executive Producer Charles Ignacio, and former Host Katherine Linton to hear about the hurdles and personal rewards they experienced in launching America's first gay and lesbian-focused television program.

A Chef's Tale

In "A CHEF'S TALE," IN THE LIFE brings us back with a present-day success story, as the show follows celebrity chef Anita Lo and her partner Jennifer Scism to learn the recipe for running a successful Greenwich Village restaurant while maintaining a healthy relationship.

Real to Reel: In Good Conscience

Sometimes radicals appear in the most unlikely places. Defying a Vatican order to silence herself, a gutsy Catholic nun has spoken out against the church's view of homosexuality for over thirty years. In this month's "REAL TO REEL," IN THE LIFE follows this woman's quest in Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Rick's documentary "In Good Conscience."

Broadway Baby

For more than 40 years, the work of Broadway veteran Jerry Herman has defined the great American musical. In a segment drawn from IN THE LIFE's rich history, IN THE LIFE profiles the successful career of Broadway composer and lyricist Jerry Herman in "BROADWAY BABY." With special appearances by Tony Award-winning actors Carol Channing and Angela Lansbury.
