I've been catching it when I can. Usually on Wednesday's, but you are right. It's an awesome documentary. Love the Ken Burns series. He always does excellent work.

I haven't watched it because I want to watch it in order and I couldn't see a few episodes because I was busy. I highly enjoy Ken Burns's work. I will likely rent it from Netflix when it becomes available, if not buy it. His sets are very expensive though, I think I payed over $150 for "Baseball."

I've heard good things but haven't seen it yet. I'm assuming they will rerun it again?

It's been rerunning now for a while hasnt it? I try to catch it and have seen the beginning of the same episode four times.

My one question, is it in timeline form? It seems like it, but jumps from theatre to theatre and I can't tell if that is what is going on at the same time, which would be great. I'd just like to see the continuation at one point.

Anyway, it is amazing to see the things that all these veterans went through. And to know just how many are out there.

I believe the beginning is the same for all episodes. I haven't watched it (I missed the first couple episodes and want to watch in order), but thats what I've heard. In some of his other docs, he has similar intros for all episodes.

The series finished up last night, I have to look up if it will be running again soon.

You know, every time I look at this subject header, I think... Why would someone want to make war on paperbacks?

I always think somebody really hates PBS. That evil public TV, bunch of commies!

I haven't had the time to watch, but I really love that guy's work, so I'm sure it's my loss. I heard Burns do a promo for it live when he came to speak during the National History Day competition. What a national treasure he is.
