I was going to watch it to see if the production even bothered to describe the Revolutionaries' vigorous efforts to 'deChristianize' France in their overall effort to break with the Monarchy and everything associated with it (and also to rob the church). Of course I gave up on History Chanel long time ago, toooo many commercials. Was the 'deChristianization' campaign even mentioned. Also, ours was the grandaddy of all Revolutions which preceded and served to jump start the French vesion. Lots different in many, many ways.

It was very much mentioned. Along with their efforts to change calenders and establish worship of the 'Goddess of Reason'.

I'd had it with The History Channel's excess of commercials as well, Smarty, so I went out and got a DVR box from my cable company. It costs about $10 extra per month and it comes with HD capabilities. Now I record the shows I want to watch during their rebroadcast hours of Midnight to 3AM and blow through them later. Makes all the difference. I highly recommend it.

I agree on giving up on the History Channel, but only because I think that it's owned by new age types. Whenever they talk religion, I switch stations.
The History Channel is good for learning a bit on warfare, Modern Marvels, Secrets of WW2, Civil War, an occasional Movies in Time, and of course "Mail Call".
