I’m watching it too.
I got interested because I remember reading about it when I was a kid. My grandma had a huge box of readers digests and I used to read all the jokes and interesting stuff I could find in them.
When this show started and the story came out about their inspiration, I remembered reading about it 40 years ago. I went back through the box and found it and read it again. Pretty interesting stuff compared to everything else on TV. Lots of real, true and old history coming out in their research.
