Caught the first 15 minutes or so of The World Wars on History last night and I taped the rest plus tonight's episode. Interesting how they are taking all the major players in WWII and showing where they started in WWI or other. I never knew that a British soldier had the chance to kill Hitler and did not.

I found this on Roku, and watched the first episode. It was pretty good.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone else see a correlation between Post WWI Germany and Happy Valley? The way this show portrays the Germans, they feel entitled to be a world power (college football power), they feel the government (BOT) betrayed them, the Treaty of Versailles (Consent Decree, NCAA Sanctions) was too harsh. Who will attempt to lead Penn State out of their hole in a bloody battle for world domination?

I've watched all three 2hour parts of the mini-series and I enjoyed it. There wasn't much that I learned that I didn't already know but it was nice to see the backgrounds of the major leaders and what they did in WW1 and the time between. Tough to cram 30+ years of world history in 4-5 hours but they touched on a lot of the major points and it wasn't so much about the wars themselves as it was the leaders. I have yet to see a really good informative documentary regarding WW1 (not saying they don't exist I just haven't watched them) but for WW2 there are a number of good ones out there - such as World at War's 26part series done in the 1970's which is great.

I'll give credit to any psychopath willing to watch 12, 13, 14 days of "The Simpsons" marathon on FXX (starting with episode one Thursday).

Some of the episodes I haven't seen since the early 90's. But watching two-weeks, 24 hours a day straight is nuts (if someone were willing to do it).
