PBS The American Experience The Great War
1Check it out, finally a very good documentary (six hours) on the USA's participation in WWI. I'd rate it good as anything Ken Burns has done.
Yeah, he's a bit less of a good president in my eyes, especially after censorship and organizing those citizen committees to stifle free speech and force people to buy war bonds.Sarge wrote:Have you seen the Great War series on You tube? 8-10 minute episodes come out each week on Thursdays covering that week 100 years ago.. they also do special on personalities and weapons and small nations ..

do the math over 50 hours... lots of detail.
I like the PBS series the stuff on Wilson blew my mind freaking control freak
I started watching it in early 2015, so I'm almost caught up, while remaining current. I really like it. I also like the other partnerships around it. Very engaging. Also, little ten minute-or-so blurbs are sweet for busy people.Sarge wrote:Have you seen the Great War series on You tube? 8-10 minute episodes come out each week on Thursdays covering that week 100 years ago.. they also do special on personalities and weapons and small nations ..

I had cocktails with Ken Burns just before his Prohibition film came out. It was a small meet and greet event to launch the new film. He is a really interesting man to talk to one and one. What you see on film is what you get in real life. He is very thoughtful and measured in his responses. But whatever you do when talking to him, do not bring up baseball. That is his passion and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of it.HuckleberryFun wrote:I like Ken Burns. My Longtime Companion of many years can't stand him. He says he's overly sentimental and has a syrupy voice that starts to grate on him before long. I guess that comes from his years as a hard boiled newspaper reporter. Fair enough. I skulk off to guiltily watch my Ken Burns in private.
