30 Days is a reality television show on FX, created and introduced by Morgan Spurlock. In each episode, a person or group of people will spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle with which they are unfamiliar (e.g. working for mininum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim etc.) while discussing related social issues. As in Spurlock's film, Super Size Me, there are a number of rules unique to each situation which must be followed during each such experiment. One episode each season has featured Spurlock as the person spending the month in the particular lifestyle.
Season one premiered on June 15, 2005, and its respective DVD set was released July 11, 2006. The second season premiered on July 26, 2006. Spurlock announced that he had personally filmed an episode in late February 2006 [1].
In the United Kingdom, the program is broadcast on More4 and Channel 4. In Australia, the program is broadcast on Network Ten and Lifestyle Channel. It currently airs in Canada on Independent Film Channel (Canada)
On December 12, 2006, FX announced the show would return for a third season, with Morgan Spurlock participating as the guinea pig in two of the six episodes. [2]
