As I mentioned earlier, I've had the chance to preview this program and it is truly remarkable. If you have children in your house I strongly urge you to watch this program with them. There is nothing offensive in the content and it could help you open the door to discussing AIDS with your children. At the very least it will inspire you and give you hope. Isn't that worth at least a half-hour of your time?

Friends For Life: Living With AIDS is scheduled for airing on the Disney Channel on the following dates and times:

December 1st, 9 p.m. PST/EST
December 4, 10:05 p.m., PST/EST
December 6, 10:15 p.m., PST/EST
December 8, 10:15 p.m., PST/EST
December 10, 10:10 p.m., PST/EST
December 29, 10:20 p.m., PST/EST
