Just a heads up. HBO's John Adams, the last episode will be starting at 9PM ET!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

I have HBO on demand and think that I'll have a marathon viewing of the whole miniseries tomorrow. :)

1. I've been watching the marathon today

I've really enjoyed it and have to admit I'm sad it's ending. Hope they do more stuff like this in the future.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. I think original HBO shows have been superb and it would be fantastic to have more

historical drama (my fave) in the future.

One remembered exception. I was not thrilled with their Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. The book is one of the best books I have ever read in my life, and their dramatization left me cold.

15. I agree. I am loving the John Adams films, but was disappointed by

The Bury My Heart series

2. i have really enjoyed so far and i'm sad it's going to be over soon. I loved that book.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. I know, I get attached to excellent miniseries myself. I never read the book.

Ever since I started to work on the Internet, I have had reader's block.

9. he's a real gem, i have really enjoyed his books.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. Now I want to buy it, but I know that I couldn't concentrate enough to read it. Seriously,

you have no idea how this upsets me. I used to read at least 5 books a week, and well written history, my favorite. :shrug:

11. the last 7 years have been a real reading jackpot for me, the Daily show's "America the book"

Al Franken's books and the new one by Clobert "I am AMerica and so can you" and various other books have kept me very happy.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. I did buy America the book, which can be browsed and I never finished it because I can't find it.

My kids loved it and secreted it away somewhere! :)

Later..have to concentrate on JA!!!

:hi:

5. makes me want to read and watch 1776 again

:D

7. i loved that book so much! I lent mine to my friends husband but i told him to keep it

because there is a new edition with illustrations!

6. Excellent series, and the theme rocks too.

Got it on You Tube as a favorite.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. The theme is beautiful. Great driving beat anchored in traditional folk music. :)

13. Removing his daughter's breast without anesthesia

Yikes............

14. Well, I having trouble having a dry eye with this last episode

Paul Giamatti deserves an Oscar for this role.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. I'm just starting to recover now. Giamatti will win the Emmy as best actor and Laura Linney,

best actress. They were both magnificent!

I loved the scene when he was with the painter of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence and says that the real history of the revolution was already lost.
