However, the main core of the series remained the same: presenting everyday and contemporary problems, and resolving them using a Christian solution.
Replacing The Fisher Family in the fall of 1956, This Is the Life spun off from the former by means of Pastor Martin, who now became the only regular character on the show.
Generally, the episode was introduced by Pastor Martin, telling the story of a past event to illustrate a point of doctrine.
The show continued until 1988, though generally broadcast in its last years mostly on local or cable Christian networks, and videotaped rather than filmed.
The most successful of these entries was Insight, which was produced by the Roman Catholic-affiliated Paulist Productions, premiering in syndication in 1960 and running for nearly 25 years.
