This is The Life

Logo for the television series, "This Is The Life"

You're invited to enjoy "This is The Life" from television's "Golden Age." This Emmy Award-winning series, produced by Lutheran Television Productions, aired in syndication on TV from 1952 to 1986. Watch stars like Jack Nicholson, Leonard Nimoy, and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, cut their teeth on their craft - long before they hit the "big time." Included below are some (54) of the many episodes from this series. 

Viewers will find the subjects and story lines aren't the stuff of sitcoms or even family-oriented shows that always went for the happy ending. Here are stories of faith-healing gone awry; a married couple's loss of their daughter; a pastor whose legalism was driving his members away; the bitter animosity of a father against his daughter's suitor; and more. In the end, each episode has one thing in common: God reigns through every event in our lives, and it is by faith in His Son-following and honoring Him-that our lives find their fullest meaning.
