    Finale

    A polar bear mother keeps watch over her cub as they wait for the coming winter and the plentiful feeding opportunities it brings.

    Every year, thousands of salmon make their way upstream along the nearly 2000-mile-long mighty Yukon River, desperate to reach spawning beds.

    1. Rhythm of the Bay

    Every summer, the frozen waters of Hudson Bay partially thaw for a few short months.

Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes but focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The program's name derives from the "20/20" measurement of visual acuity. The hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
