I am almost expecting the weird haired dude from "Ancient Aliens" to make a cameo appearance in this series.

Middle-age during those days was 25 to 30.

I looked forward to the series but couldn’t make it through the first hour.

It was history simplified for the sheeple.

I still can’t get over the fact that it’s an 18th. century drama overlaid with 20th. century rock-and-roll music from The Rolling Stones, a BRITISH band.

What the.......?

You just need to think of this like Vikings, another History Channel series that plays fast and loose with the facts. I watch Vikings for entertainment, not education.

On the bright side, history teachers will be able to tell who didn’t do the reading when students start quoting from the series.

One Sam Adams from the 1700’s had more intestinal fortitude than all of the people from newsbusters.com could ever possibly muster. And he would probably kick all of their asses without much effort.

Watched about 12-15 minutes and then bailed out. Feckin’ soap opera.

I thought Abraham Lincoln was the vampire hunter?

After watching the first installment, my wife and I both commented it was a great show despite the many and odd historical inaccuracies throughout.

Still a good romp.

I found it a safe assumption that if its on the History Channel, it’s not history.

Bailed when one actor said, “Bullshit!” Didn’t think that term was in use then.

Actually, the commercials made me want to miss it, and I did.

The portrayal of John Hancock as a psycopathic metrosexual wasn’t exactly great either.

Not really seein' it . . .


(Copley's portrait of ol' Sam)

The guy on the beer label is loosely based on the Copley portrait of Paul Revere, with a foaming mug substituted for the iconic silver teapot.

They've revised him a couple of times, so he doesn't look nearly as much like Paul as he originally did.

Gee Thanks!

I have it on the dvr, but haven’t seen it yet.

You, in your literary comments, have ‘done the dog’ for the rest of us!

I watched 4 minutes of it before I turned off. I was so disappointed. :(
