For two seasons on Showtime, we tried to make a television show that would feel exactly like the radio show. It won three Emmys. More about all that here.

If you're wondering where to start, here are some favorite episodes and stories: the first and last episodes of Season Two, especially that last episode with the hour-long story about seven people named John Smith; the Chris Ware cartoons, which you can watch for free online, from Season One and Two; Nancy Updike's beautifully-written story in God's Close-Up; Ira's story of a teenager who doesn't want to fall in love; and Haider Hamza's field trip to meet the Americans who wanted to invade his country, Iraq. And the entire archive is below.
