I am wondering how much of it wil be "edited" for television. Seen the DVD series and was completely blown away. Best mini series of all time.

Just go out and buy it. your gonna like it.
While your at it. buy and read the book also.

Only movie I ever saw where the was almost as good as the book.
but then again. only movie I ever saw that did it by the book.
Some minor things are understandably compressed and left out because of time constraints but all in all it follows the book almost exact.
But it helped that they used the actual guys from Easy Co. as technical advisors making sure they got every detail just right.
some things that unless you were there in WWII you wouldnt even notice
I remember reading an article where they changed the location of where one guy carried his first aid kit on one guy cause it wasnt where "he" carried his.

commercial free? anyone know

DiabloTX · « **Reply #7 on:** April 11, 2004, 01:43:00 PM »

I doubt it wil be comm. free. If it were there would be a huge advertising push "brought to you commercial free by XXXXX Corp.". One can only hope though...

It will be really lame if it is not commercial free. It is so long and it seem's you would get pulled right in. Commercials will ruin it for the viewers.

A 'special' episode of Mail Call is due to air immediately afterwards with a focus on "Easy Company." I imagine weapons, tactics, etc.

Should be worth watching.

I think it is the best war movie/miniseries ever because there is no love story. Men shooting each other counts as love for me

Letter box, yes!!!!!!!!!!

But, thanks Cisco Systems.
