Same here.  I believe they did a pretty good job with the history for the most part.  Lot's of M. Brady's photos you seldom see on TV.

I have the DVD set and IMHO, that series was one of the best things on TV ever.  I especially like the Author Shelby Foote.  He is a wealth of knowledge.

It was excellent, one of PBS' crown jewels. I've got it on my hard drive.

Folk who carp about PBS & NPR rarely mention their really good stuff, and Burns' program is really good.

It is a very good series, I wish PBS would do more like it.  The people who carp about PBS/NPR do so about the very slanted editorial and news bias.  Anti gun, anti-religion (maybe more accurately anti-Christian), and generally anti-America.  Kind of a Daily Kos-lite.

I like it but I feel it's a little one sided.  Of course it's Public Television.
