Programming note

[Marlin]

If you have the Military Channel..

Starting this Friday at 8 They will be running The World at War By far the best documentry I have ever seen on the Second World War..

If You have never seen it, I highly recomend it..

they have been running it already for quite a while. It is bad ass. HD of WWII. very cool stuff

[Marlin]

Hmmm, Why'd they "Starting" this Friday then?

Old commercial maybe...

No matter for Me,, I have it on VHS and DVD...[Tooth]

[sniper7]

Maybe it is a new series, I am sure there is probably 2 years worth of footage watching 24 hours a day!
I am not sure, I just know I have been watching them whenever I get a chance[Weight]

The Smithsonian Channel has a series "Apocalypse - The Second World War" that has some great footage I had not seen before - and I have watched a TON of WWII stuff. - Great series...

At one time I planned to read the wikipedia page for WWI and WWII as a general refresher course. I only made it about 1/4 of the way through WWI. This program sounds like the much more entertaining way to go.

The one I'm talking about was first out in 1973 with Laurance Olivier narrating.. 26 eipsodes..

I had heard a rumor that they were going to "update" with recently uncovered footage. But, that was around the time that Time/Life came out with the one they had a couple of years ago.

Yes much better,, At least 6 years condensed into 26 hours..

Another good one is Victory at Sea. That one rarely gets played though.. I have seen it at Best Buy from time to time,, But they are waaaaaay proud of that one... in other words, I coudln't afford it...

For keeping a list of books you've read and your rating. I can't figure out how to get a link to my list though.

I now have the entire Why We Fight series on DVD and the entire Victory at Sea series on DVD. I guess I need this one.
