After making waves, the show quickly became a hit among viewers, making the Bundys -- shoe salesman Al, his frisky wife Peggy, his flirtatious daughter Kelly and desperate son Bud -- a household name.

    Shining Soul: Helen Keller's Spiritual Life and Legacy

    2005
    While many people know the particulars of Helen Keller's battle to find her voice, few are aware of the depth and importance of her religious and spiritual beliefs, which are explored in this thought-provoking program. Keller was perhaps most influenced by the work of Swedish philosopher and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a man who claimed to have talked to angels and to have been directed by God himself.
