People spend a month in an environment antithetical to their regular way of life in this documentary series from `Super Size Me' director Morgan Spurlock.

Gay Pride, and Awareness, on Cable | Roush Dispatch | 6/24/2008
Even if it weren’t Gay Pride month, with all of the parades and hoopla typically associated with the festivities this time of year, California’s recent same-sex marriage ruling has put gay issues back on the cultural front burner. This week, two especially notable cable programs take a very personal look at what it means to be gay in today’s society.First up is FX’s 30 Days (airs Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, following the Rescue Me “mini-sode”), with a compelling and emotionally grueling hour spotlighting same-sex parenting. Like a less exploitative Wife Swap, this episode of Morgan Spurlock’s walk-in-another-person’s-shoes reality show invites Katie, an outspoken Morman mom with two adopted sons—who was herself adopted—to leave her California family to spend a month in the Michigan farmhouse of Dennis and Tom, who are raising four adopted sons of their own. Her beliefs are challenged, but not exactly swayed, at watching two loving men... read more
Cheers: Morgan Spurlock's Life Swap | Cheers & Jeers | 6/4/2008
Cheers to Morgan Spurlock for bringing back TV's best reality show (yeah, I said it), FX's 30 Days. The third-season premiere sent the Supersize Me documentarian back to his home state of West Virginia to spend a month working as a coal miner. He faced dangers ranging from split underwear to cave-ins and convinced his boss to take a long-overdue test for black lung disease (sadly, spots showed up in both lungs). Plus, he took a truly fair and balanced look at energy issues, interviewing both a coal-industry lobbyist and an environmentalist. Funny and moving, entertaining and educational, 30 Days deserves an Emmy or a Peabody or, most of all, more viewers. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more
Morgan Spurlock Gears up for Another 30 Days | TV Show Previews | 6/2/2008
Hold on to your hard-hats, because Morgan Spurlock is back with another round of life-changing stories on the FX documentary show 30 Days beginning June 3. In the premiere episode, Spurlock returns to his home state of West Virginia to spend 30 days as a coal miner. The filmmaker lived with the mine supervisor, Dale and his wife Sandy, and worked eight-hour shifts — 1.5 miles underground. It's dark, cold, wet and extraordinarily dangerous. Not only do miners face daily exposure to coal dust that causes black lung, they also deal with possible explosions or collapse at any time. But, when TVGuide.com asked Spurlock which one of the six stories from the new season moved him the most, he immediately spoke of his time at the mines. Not only was Spurlock moved by being immersed in the environment and surrounded by the people who affected his life as he grew up, he also felt, "it was kind of eye opening.... It’s a profession that none of us really know much about or know what... read more
