Overview

The CBS documentary series On the Road with Charles Kuralt bore one of the more unique premises in late 20th century television.

Overview

The CBS documentary series On the Road with Charles Kuralt bore one of the more unique premises in late 20th century television. Essentially a very low-key series of human interest chronicles, it witnessed Kuralt and his camera crew tooling around the United States in a motor home and filming profiles of the interesting Middle Americans they happened to meet - people such as a toy repairman, a farmer who doubled as a slingshot-maker, and any number of traffic cops. So popular was Kuralt's series, in fact, that it evolved from a regular segment on The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite into its own stand-alone program, and remained on the air for a whopping 20 years total. This "best-of" collection (Volume Two in a series devoted to the program) offers 18 full episodes of Kuralt's series, plus bonus features including an 'About On the Road' segment, updates of various 'Road' characters, and a Kuralt biography.
