Sunday Morning fans will appreciate this DVD announcement: On the Road With Charles Kuralt comes out Oct. 27 from our friends at Acorn Media (responsible for British drama sets like Poirot and Life on Mars, plus other releases like Stephen Hawking and the Theory of Everything).
Kuralt started doing ordinary-life vignettes in 1967 for CBS Evening News With Walter Cronkite about toothpick artists, covered bridges and other generally heartwarming subjects across America. Then he launched CBS' equally laid-back Sunday Morning broadcast, back in 1979, setting a reassuring tone and wonder-filled tenor still upheld by current host Charles Osgood. Kuralt retired from Sunday Morning in 1994 and passed away in 1997.
The DVD set includes three discs with 18 episode compilations of Kuralt's memorably personal reports. Read more about it here. Also check out the Remembering Charles Kuralt web site.
