Judy The show last night on the CCC was important to me, it felt good to me - thank you, PBS.
Monica Seufer Absolutely loved the show last night about the CCC. Brilliantly done and loved the men that shared their stories.
Dennis "The 30's" series has been superb so far, and has brought me to the somewhat nuanced conclusion that even though the themes and experiences of THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF THE 1930's and THE GREAT RECESSION OF 2008-2010 are similar, the reality of THEN versus NOW is like the difference between BUBONIC PLAGUE and SWINE FLU.
Christopher The show about the Civilian Conversation Corp was outstanding. Thank you!

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you, our Facebook fans, "What do the 1930s mean to you?"
Amy S. from Columbus, Ohio, sent us this video, "Music in the 1930s," which looks at how the adversity of the times produced an explosion of creativity in popular music - in so many different genres! "I think that the '30s might be... right up there with the '60s with regard to the lasting importance and influence on American music. And it makes sense, since the '60s was such a tumultuous decade as well," she writes.
Now it’s your turn. What do the 1930s mean to you? Let us know by submitting your stories, pictures, and video to "My American Experience" on the 1930s website, or log on to browse more submissions from viewers like you!Read More

Jon Zeitler Best history show on U.S. television, and sadly not seen by nearly enough people.
American Experience Is our Great Recession fueling a new "lost generation" of juvenile wanderers? Some estimates say up to 76,000 are living on the road, up from some 250,000 teenagers who rode the rails during the Great Depression in the '30s.
