I saw some of it when it was broadcast on PBS, but never the whole thing. We usually watch “1776!” on the 4th, but this year, Tom the Son took it to Boy Scout camp to use in teaching “Citizenship in the Nation” Merit Badge. (He’s director of the Eagle-required badges program.)

We could watch “Gettysburg,” but I’ll probably just fall asleep by 9:00.

The John Adams miniseries is excellent. Plus there are 2 bonus features one on the “making of” and one on David McCullough. My sister sent me the DVD set in 2008 after I had my first knee replacement and was laid up.
