Just watched the second episode, missed the first one. Grr.

Really well done, some unbelievable footage, and very powerful and immersive stories.  Gets a little slow at times, but overall a fantastic documentary.

I understand there are 7 episodes, 2 hours each, no commercials. Ya?

People expecting "Saving Private Ryan" style movie will be disappointed.

as rpm said...


as long as they don't become like the BBC we are all good though :aok


and as TXmom said childerns programming is good. I don't know if they still show re-runs of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, but I hope they do. oh and I hope they don't get all "PC" with sesame street as I heard they had cookie monster eating vegetables.  :furious :lol
I don't know what to put here yet.

I have no problem at all with the existence of PBS... I just don't think that we should have money extorted from us (taxes) go to pay for any of it.

They're alot of things that I don't like having taxes extorted from me to pay for. Of all the many things on the list PBS certainly isn't at or even near the top of that list.

no.. nor mine either.. but, it is a simple one and a clear abuse.   It should be easy to rectify and then we can move upward from there.
