"Charles Kuralt began his now famous television show On the road in 1967 for CBS. This program, made in 1987, is a compilation of the highlights of twenty years of his television journalism - a touching, funny and sometimes rather amazing look at people and places across the United States."
"In 1967, television journalist Charles Kuralt went on the road and began a 20-year nomadic trek to discover the lifeblood of small-town America. This program records those people whose unusual talents and avocations Kuralt remembers best. They include: the fastest 104-year-old runner ; Bill Hafeman, a birch canoe builder ; the women of North Platte, Nebraska, who ran a canteen for the troops during World War II ; the "Bird Lady" of St. Petersburg, Florida ; Jethro Mann of Belmont, North Carolina, who repairs bikes for neighborhood youngsters ; the old-time gandy dancers ; a former Michigan Supreme Court justice turned fisherman."
