Fans of John Fugelsang, heads up to tune into PBS at 10, tonight, for 'Dream On'

[Siwsan]

DREAM ON investigates the perilous state of the American Dream after decades of rising income inequality and declining economic mobility. In an epic road trip, political comedian John Fugelsang retraces the journey of Alexis de Tocqueville, whose study of our young country in 1831 came to define America as a place where anyone, of any background, could climb the ladder of economic opportunity.

Following in the Frenchman’s footsteps, Fugelsang asks whether the optimistic spirit of the American Dream that Tocqueville popularized is alive and well in the twenty-first century, or whether George Carlin was right when he famously quipped, “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

1. I have TWO public TV stations on my cable system, and neither one is

choosing to carry this.

Hopefully, it will be available online at some point.

3. Bummer!

All 3 in my area are carrying it.

I wonder if some of them will run it on their web sites. The call letters for the ones here are WCMZ, WDCQ and WKAR.

I'd been wondering when this would be on.
