How does anyone have time to be a television buff?

Sometimes I watch in the buff, but that's about it.

[Kaslin]

Yes it is. I started watching it about a month ago, and always look forward to the next episode

[kidd]

Outstanding TV.

Highly recommended

[lormand]

I still won't watch it.

I was flipping thru the television recently and caught a glimpse of some Gladiator show on Showtime.

Sure enough, two male gladiators start their Hollywood prescribed sodomy on the screen.

If consistent, this show too will feature two homo's going after each other.

I have no use for netflix and according to Michael Hausam the author of the article you can watch the episodes on the AMC website

Sorry to break it to you but John Simcoe ain't gonna “get his’

As governor of Ontario after the war he is considered the founding father of Toronto.

[piasa]

No, you’re safe, this show is missing that PC element.

[Hoffer Rand]

I’m watching it. I’ve been watching it from the beginning. It’s pretty good!

[Kaslin]

That is your privilege. No one forces you too

I’m glad we won, but wasn’t the Revolutionary War largely about possession of assets?

The British invested large sums over here, and the colonials nationalized it?

[cripplecreek]

John Graves Simcoe was a very complex man. A brutal warrior, staunch abolitionist, and is believed to have sent the first ever Valentine’s day card (To Anna Strong’s sister)

Also a great and complex character is Robert Rogers.

[Patriot Babe]

Grrrrr whenever I see Simcoe face I just want to slap him LOL

[VeniVidiVici]

They’ve taken enough license with the characters that he might still ‘get his’.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Revolutionary War ping list!

FReep Mail me if you want to be on, or off, this George Washington/Revolutinary War/Founding Father ping list.

[21twelve]

The guy that plays Simcoe is the main bad guy in the show “Sleepy Hollow”. I haven’t been keeping up with it, but I’m guessing he will get it on that show.

[afraidfortherepublic]

you can watch the episodes on the AMC website

No you can't. You can watch PIECES of various episodes and some full length episodes, but not the whole thing.

[Starboard]

The patriots had to contend with both the British and a large percentage of loyalists. Then as today, many Americans were not actively supportive of freedom and liberty.

[rightwingcrazy]

I’d like to see his character in a death match with Robert Rogers.

[ChicagahAl]

...Washington's Spies, by Alexander Rose.

Brian Kilmeade's book, "George Washington's Secret Six", is a worthwhile read, as well. As I'm watching "Turn", I keep thinking, "OK - who was #355?".

[Kaslin]

It sure looks that way
