OT: America The Story Of US
It's July 4, so I figure this may be OT/OK. Pretty cool series on History 2.
John Adams is playing on HBO nonstop right now.
That was a great mini series with Paul Giamatti, if thats what you're referring to.
I own the series on DVD. As a future history teacher I'm going to show like half the series to my students. So full of win.
I'm a current History teacher and my students enjoy the bits and pieces I show them. Best of luck in your future career it is a great subject to teach.
Liev Schreiber... Hit "info" button for additional programming details.
was fantastic. Have you read Generation Kill or One Bullet Away (Nathanial Fick's book)? Even better than the series, which as I said I loved.
Hair length usually pushes my buttons. Especially, when it is blatantly just pulled back behind the ears. That and when a premise is just too farfetched like in “Undersiege”, as a marine, when have ever been to sea that they haven’t off-loaded weapons prior to returning to homeport or a stand-down.
Don't forget my pet peeves. Saluting indoors and wearing a cover indoors. (A hat for the masses).
My favorite shows are the ones who portray our Armed Forces as real and kickass as possible. HBO does the best mini series.
Put a sterak on and enjoy the day!
Maybe I should switch to HBO.....I am watching the Tigers on a stream. The 7th inning stretch just happened and the guy singing God Bless America was great...until he totally flubbed the last word Home....sounded like his voice gave out...poor guy lol.
My high school history teacher showed us that entire series. It took like a month. I kept thinking, "You're getting paid to do this?" He was one of those History/PE teacher/coach/AD types. Wasn't a good teacher, so I definitely learned more from the videos than I ever did from him. Still pissed me off.
Was stationed @ MCRD-Parris Island, SC when “The Civil War” was aired. It was awesome being in/near places that were mentioned. Made for some very interesting weekend trips to experience historical sites while the series was airing. Especially, Beaufort and Savannah with Sherman’s March.
Doesn't this series have the song "Radar Love" playing during the part about the Red Sox-Reds World Series game when the Reds pull out a victory? I recall that for some reason, and it was awesome :)
