Are you a fan of This is Life with Lisa Ling? Will you watch season five? Tell us what you think.
Life with Lisa Ling is fantastic ! Lisa has respect for the people in the stories by letting them tell it. Lisa has even been a participant in some which demonstrates to me, a fan and a viewer that she really wants to understand by experiencing it herself even if it was a scary senario for her personally. It would be an honor to meet her ‘!
She does shows about weird and dark things many of which people don’t care about. How about doing something more positive like what it’s like to try and get a Ph.D or trying to launch a business or farm animal sanctuaries. Also does mostly dark and creepy stuff.
That’s where you’re wrong RC. She introduces us to issues we know little about and opens up whole new worlds to her viewers. Just like reading a book.
this is life is a great show, i have learned a few things from this show, not only is it entertaining g, its also a learning experience, Lisa Ling goes places that many people know nothing abut and tells you things you have never heard of,lisa Ling is the perfect person to host this show, to me, she is a younger version of Barbra Walters!
