Lincoln is the embodiment of the American dream and the president to whom all others are compared. Although we think we know his story, it's full of surprises and misnomers. Episode 101 builds the man that will eventually become the historical icon and clarifies some generalizations that have ingratiated themselves into his mythology. From his hard scrabble roots on the far edge of the frontier through his courtship of a complicated woman who will later push him to great political heights, episode 101 examines how Lincoln's background shaped his personality, views, and explores some of the lesser known aspects of his life before political stardom.

Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

12 Seasons
Anthony Bourdain had no reservations about a move to CNN. Shortly after concluding an eight-season stint at the helm of his popular Travel Channel series, the equally popular Emmy-winning host came to the news network searching for "Parts Unknown." In the hourlong weekend series -- similar in premise to Travel's "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005)" -- Bourdain explores the world to, he says, "eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice ... they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get." Enticed by the opportunity to experience cultures rarely visited by American TV, such as in the Congo, Libya and Myanmar, the chef and best-selling author also takes viewers to Colombia, Peru, Morocco and, closer to home, Koreatown in Los Angeles.
