I accidentally discovered  RL.TV while mindlessly channel surfing one night which is the only online cable network for those 50 and over. Among the line up are several shows in particular that are worthwhile viewing. "My Generation" is based on the AARP lifestyle magazine series that tackle a variety of topics of relevancy to Baby Boomers.
 The "Art of Living" has personal stories about Boomers from all walks of life and their accomplishments. "Second Act" looks at those reinventing themselves through starting second careers they have dreamed about. "Health Line" deals with health care topics and medical issues facing older Americans. Joan Lunden examines care giving in our culture in "Taking Care". Then there is my favorite," Bookmark" that chronicles books with author interviews. An off shoot of "Bookmark" is "Books and Beyond" that uncovers the motivation behind the author's works.
It is refreshing to find intelligent TV specifically geared to the interests and achievements of Baby Boomers, who are undoubtedly shaping society in ways that are different from previous generations. I'll be putting RL.TV on my list of worthwhile programs to watch from now on.
