What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople love this long-running documentary anthology for its unforgettable, well-told stories. Specific episodes, like the ones about librarians or "WE WANT THE FUNK!", really hit home. The host, Stanley Tucci, is the one sour note, with viewers consistently finding him grating. Still, the series is praised for its originality and for spotlighting unique people and history.
