Yes I am going to watch it. My wife and kids have set the timer to record it. I think they are more interested than I am.

wonder if this is based in part on the book, The History of the American People  which I'm wading through?

My DVR is set, looks to be done well.

I'll give it a look see.

Most HC stuff is pretty good, unless they get all greenie/environmental on you. I plan to watch it and enjoy it if it is as good as the promos seem to indicate.

I can say they tend to be more accurate/balance than school textbooks even when they go green.  They are the new PBS (which is now Pravda BS)

Watching it now, so-so at the moment. Very glossy, light touch on subjects, ran through to the Rpre-Revolution days in less than 20 minutes. Focus on Jamestown and Boston. What, no Maryland? No Pennsylvania? South Carolina?

And WTF are they doing with that racist a$$hole and noted beer swilling dipstick Henry Louis Gates Jr. as one of the talking heads?

i watched about 10 minutes of it...... now watching Beer for My Horses, at the part where Nugent shoots the guy in the ass.

It's ok.  Some stuff I didn't know.

But the  real shocker.  The colonists had privately purchased firearms.   

While what comrade President said to preface the show is accurate, BUT it's disgusting to think he doesn't believe a sylable out of his  mouth.

The spy network that was in NY was pretty interesting

My take so far as well.....for a 6-episode arc at 2 hours each, they could delve a little more deeply into some of the subjects.

The HC has done pretty well at keeping things balanced in the past, I really hope this doesn't turn into a spin on certain historical facts. I'll tune in again next week and see how it starts to pan out.
