StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jamvlm I have yet to meet one other person who remembers this show, so it is no wonder that it has lapsed into obscurity. The fact that it's been more than 20 years since it was last broadcast certainly hasn't helped it's legacy, which is a shame, because Insight is arguably one of the very best TV series in the history of the medium. A religious-themed drama anthology series of morality plays that featured some of the most talented actors, writers and directors of the era, it had less to do with promoting religious doctrine than it did with exploring the human condition and topical issues of the period. I never watched an episode of Insight without coming away with food for thought concerning whatever moral or ethical issue that was explored in the episode, and I've never seen a bad one (although the very best ones seem to have been made during the late 60s to mid 70s). As for the show itself, you never knew what you were going to get when you tuned in to an episode of Insight. Not unlike The Twilight Zone (the show to which it is most often compared), the series format included every possible genre from science fiction and fantasy to melodrama to comedy, and the show had the amazing ability to not only amuse, unsettle or shock the viewer, it sometimes managed to do all of those things within a single episode. Shot on videotape on a visibly low budget and broadcast without commercials, and filmed on sparsely decorated sets where actors occasionally flubbed their lines, the show nevertheless managed to overcome it's budgetary constraints to deliver a consistently high quality series of episodes aided not only by the aforementioned top-level talent but an effective use of surreal images and unsettling musical scores. For reasons that are unclear to me, we may never see this series broadcast again (or released on DVD). However, a number of episodes have somehow made their way onto YouTube. We can only hope that this series will once again be re-released on a larger scale. The show was too amazing to be allowed to fade into obscurity.

Thomas E. Reed I remember the series fondly as a kid. In my early years as a TV engineer in a little Public TV station in Newark, Ohio, I got to run the episodes on film (we didn't have standard videotape in that station).Except for those video pirates who have copies of the shows, "Insight" will remain buried forever. The reason is that the show represented Catholic theology of its time. Those episodes don't represent current Church doctrine on a lot of things. I think the Church doesn't want some of them publicized today. Some episodes also had very insistent bits of Catholic doctrine that make many people wince these days - I recall an episode that drably covered adultery in marriage that ended in suicide, with the priest/narrator suggesting this was the expected end of such immorality.Even if you agree with the opinion that this was "the Twilight Zone of religious television," it was at least heartfelt. This show, and "Davey and Goliath," were made by people who honestly believed in the morals they promoted. I don't believe that's true of the expensive, show-bizzy, money-begging religious shows of today.

luvthemcorgis When I was a teenager, God was having a tough time getting through to me through conventional, Sunday morning church services. How clever of Him, then, to have sneaked into my stubborn consciousness through early Sunday morning television, with the brilliant Insight series. As Greg from Kalispell, MT also mentioned, there was an episode I have never forgotten, titled "The Poker Game". It starred a young Beau Bridges as a quiet, sweet, hippie sort of guy. He was wearing wire-rimmed glasses (much like the type John Lennon wore) which may have had rose-colored lenses - I'm not certain; I saw the episode in black and white. What I mostly remember is the theme of tolerance, based on love, versus intolerance, based on prejudicial, stereotypical thinking.Another unforgettable episode had the theme of God as presumed dead. (I think Carroll O'Connor starred in this one.) A small group of self-centered, cynical, miserable people had gathered at a chapel to conduct a "funeral" for God, declaring that, given the state of the world, He must be dead. At the end of the funeral, one of the men brusquely instructed the chapel's caretaker, a simple, God-loving man, that the steeple bell was to be disconnected permanently, as it would no longer be needed. The group reassembled at a nearby building for a "wake", which actually was more of a cocktail party during which the group members revealed a number of unsettling and unsavory aspects of their lives. But after some time, the chapel bell suddenly began to ring. Startled, the group hurried back to the chapel, where the caretaker, frightened, insisted he had not reconnected the bell. Inside, the open casket still lay at the front. One at a time, the frightened members of the party approached it. Lying within the satin lining, each saw, with horror, who truly was dead ... without the grace and love of God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. As the last person to gaze fearfully into the casket, only the caretaker found it to be empty.God bless the late Father Kieser, Paulist Productions, and the actors, writers, and crew members who worked together to bring the Father, Son and Holy Spirit into the 20th Century so creatively and memorably.

ggb-2 I was amazed to finally find some facts on this program that effected me as a teen. I had not realized that the program was 'Insight' and I always remembered the episode as 'The Rose Colored Glasses' but evidently was wrong all these years. Typing in Beau Bridges brought up the episode 'The Poker Game'!! And yep, that is/was it. Several older fellows playing poker with a younger man wearing rose colored glasses eventually become fed up with his radical views and decide he is a bit of a slacker representing the tangibility of the much talked about 'Generation Gap' of the time. In short a 'revolutionary/radical/hippy'. I think he was berated at one point as 'seeing life through rose colored glasses' which was not at all what the group of men considered acceptable, being members of the 'establishment'. I believe the show certainly helped inspire a generation (along with "Easy Rider") to vote for Bill Clinton 24 years later. Thank you IMDB, and Mike, and Kenneth, for allowing me to touch this puzzle that has been on my mind all these years. [I sure would like to see the episode again, but I have no clue as to how to make that happen. Please write me if anyone has knowledge.] Thanx again. Greg.
