One of the most underrated shows on television is CBS Sunday Morning. Celebrating its 30th year of broadcast, it is the anti-news show. There are no talking heads, trite arguments, Glenn Becks, Larry Kings, or Sean Hannitys. The content is rich and varied. You are just as likely to find an interview with a leading politician, celebrity, or writer as you would the profile of a puzzle-making business.

For example, this week’s episode had an extensive interview with a former spy who discussed his clandestine activities in Iran. There was an excellent interview with Kate Winslet on her Oscar hopes. And there is always an impressive slate of guest commentary – this week from Ben Stein. After watching an episode I always feel like I have 20 anecdotes to dazzle friends with at a cocktail party (Note to self: find cocktail parties to attend).

The show is on at an awkward time (7:00 am), so set your DVR and check it out. Your brain will love you for it.
