The amount of live television I’ve watched over the past 12 months is so tiny, it’s probably best measured in minutes. That said, I do see movies from time to time, and on occasion, watch shows on my computer.
One I heard about recently at the Florida Liberty Summit where I had the chance to see Ron Paul speak live, was an HBO series titled “John Adams”.
A few weeks have passed, but I finally got around to watching it … wow.
For a TV series made to entertain, this show is provides a more accurate depiction of the founding of these states united than 99% of currently elected and appointed officials could piece together over the next decade – that’s how far our nation has drifted from the intent of the founders and the original constitution.
It’s not perfect, but it is definitely worth your time. The ideas presented, the main actors, the quotes, the scenes, the supporting cast … awesome.
Considering how often I talk about TV shows on TDL, you should take this recommendation to heart and give this series a shot.
Get it on Amazon via DVD or Blu-ray.
I like how this post has 0 comments and the previous one is now in the triple digits. The joys of running a blog.
Ha, sadly I think alot of people are finding it all too amusing, me included. Some of the discussion has been very interesting, other parts frustrating.
I saw a clip of this show on another blog I follow. It looked very good and I plan on trying to watch a bit when I get the time.
