[Our cable company] just switched to Comcast and we discovered Logo. We love your show and have been recording through our Digital Video Recorder all your shows! We've been so behind in Houston!!! - Renee

 

I couldn't sleep, so I was surfing through the [Cable] On Demand menus and came across IN THE LIFE. I only wished I knew about your show a whole lot sooner! Thank you so much for providing such a great opportunity to highlight and celebrate our community! - Michelle
