"Insight" and "This is the Life" were two of TV's great "Hangover Morning" shows if you came home all messed up from Saturday night partying.....stark, creepy and presented like play filmed in a church auditorium. Big stars must have done this show for personal reasons--not for the paycheck--this was a very cheaply produced show! Yes, with all the CRAP on DVD , this needs to be seen!

Lloyd Bridges was on it way too much though. Deborah Winters was a teen actress who was in one LSD episode. She was great, and this lead to her teen trauma feature film; "The People Next Door"--which almost looked like the feature length version of "Insight" !
