Stephen Fry in Amercia

So i didn't really understand the programme too well, and i wasn't really sure what he was trying to achieve so i just picked up all the information i could. I thought it was interesting how each state had it's own story and own kind of variety of people. The states all had different feels to them and some of the interviews he had with people were funny and others were serious, so it was good to see the contrast.
I was shocked when one man in the programme said he had been homeless for 25 years, and then the couple said that they'd chose to be homeless. I thought that was a bit odd; Why would they want to live like that? I guess they weren't very materialistic. Then there was the whole thing with the firemen, and when Stephen Fry was in the vehicle, the fireman said that they thrive a fire which didn't really seem like an appropriate thing to say, but you could see where he was coming from. But then i liked that people had admitted that after the 9/11, they wanted to become firemen, to become heroes and save people's lives. And when he was in Chicago and he was interviewing the comedians, they were talking about being the 2nd city to New York ; One of them said that Chicago was always working and never rests. But isnt't that just the same as New York.
Anyway, that's about all i have to say! Now i need to find something for E-Media
P.s Am i the only one who didn't know that Morgan Freeman was 70?!
