Rollin' With Zach - AWESOME new show!
Show links: http://www.oprah.com/own-rollin-with...llin-With-Zach and http://www.pietown.tv/Shows/rwz.html
A kid with cerebal palsy won a national search by Oprah Winfrey to host a travel show. His name is Zach Anner, and he has cerebal palsy ("the sexiest palsy" as he calls lol). We watched the series premiere tonight; 2 back to back 30 min episodes, the first in LA and the second in Chicago. He is a power chair user and there is a huge emphasis on adaptive activities - he dances in his power chair, he water skiis and surfs with the help of various adaptive sports groups. He of course narrates the whole thing, and he is really really funny. It repeats tonight at midnight eastern, so if you're inclined try to catch it. Its on the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), and the show is on at 8-9 EST, and repeats (at least on our network) from midnight-1 am. Watch it, it totally rocks, and I'd LOVE to see this kid succeed. It is so breaking down barriers for people in chairs in so many ways!!! |

I tried to tune in, but here in Canada the premier isn't until January. So still waiting patiently...
I love Zach. I think he is my all-time favourite person. Last edited by loreo; 12-13-2011 at 11:38 AM. |
