    I liked the uplifting message because I'm sick of all the negative gimmicky TV out there. I do think that one of Roger and Julie's main reasons for participating was under-played - support for ALS research and exposure. Thanks.

    Jeff Probst hosts this special that easily could turn into a series (or series of specials) about living your life to the fullest. And let’s just say that this show tugs at your emotions within a few minutes of its start. While the story of Roger Childs, the first person featured, may be a bit out of the ordinary, the concept is basically that of this being a TV version of the work that is done by the Make-A-Wish foundation, as it helps Roger and his family live out a few dreams, and trying to gain insight into just how we all should go about living our lives. I don’t want to give away too much here on Roger’s adventure, but I will give you a hint on one of them – Buzz Aldrin. In a time where people are depressed with their own lives due to economic troubles and job woos, the timing on this show couldn’t be better. And as Roger revealed after one of his adventures, we should all finish what we started. Mark Burnett is a genius in my mind who can do no wrong. Why not make the most of the time you have and pursue your passions? Hopefully a session with this show will give you the strength to make a change to your own life. Even with his failures (“The Restaurant”, “The Casino” & “Pirate Master”) Mark Burnett always manages to entertain. This is no exception and to be honest, the material is more suited for a shorter story on 20/20 or Dateline, but if you invest the time, you probably won’t regret it. I’m not sure I could deal with my emotions being manipulated like this every week, but as a series of specials, count me in.… Expand

    Even offering a slightest knock of this show feels about as kind as, say, throwing a rock at a Haitian orphan. This viewer, however, is not convinced there's a one-hour series here.

    This show still feels emotionally manipulative and at times even uncomfortably invasive.

    The show is by turns sweet and funny.
