Has anyone seen their new series "America: The Story of Us"? I watched the first episode last night, which was very good. Alot of detail that i never knew before. I believe it is a 6 or 7 part series. I highly recommand watching it if you get the chance. Alot of great details about how America actually came to be.

I'm disappointed in it actually. They did an entire episode on the American Revolution, and at the end of the episode they were like, "The Americans won... and then in 1789 George Washington became president."

They skipped the Constitution, not to mention the Articles of Confederation. If they wanted to amaze people with "new" details, spend five minutes telling people how there was a different law of the land before the Constitution and ten Presidents of Congress before George Washington took office. That would blow people's minds.

And don't tell me, "It's only a 12-part series, they don't have time for everything." They have an entire fucking channel to cover that stuff - but instead of history now we get shows about pawn shops, Armageddon, cutting down trees and hunting for Sasquatch.

Looking forward to the new series, How the States Got Their Shapes.

Last night I watched the two-hour show from last year...somehow missed it the first time...and there was a lot of local and quirky US history covered in it. Show was done very well. And as a bonus, the show kicked-off with the Ohio-tsun rivalry, both as it is today in football, and as it was in the 1830s during the Toledo War.

Hope the quality stays the same for the new series that is to start next week.

I've seen the two hour special, which was good, but I don't know how they would turn it into a series. We'll see.

Yeah, they should make that one show. A pawn shop made of wood run by Sasquatch, where the wrong sale bring about Armageddon.

Not lying, I'd watch.

Only if Sasquatch was pawning wooden trinkets made by the Mayans, whose ghosts got all offended and caused Armageddon. Sheesh, learn how to tie shit together...
