We’re looking forward to it. Got the DVR to record the whole series.

My Dad served on the USS Arthur Middleton. He was there.

If conservatives won't be utterly disgusted with Pacific, then Tom Hanks and Spielburger certainly will be. The only other reason they would possibly drag the public through the HOLOCAUST TM and every Nazi war crime ever discovered would be their own personal avarice and greed.

It's always about the AGENDA whenever Progressive POS' like Hanks and Spielburgerer produce a product for the sheeple's consumption!

I'll watch Pacific, but won't be surprised when American heros, Christians and Orthodoxy gets humiliated. Hollywood always slanders God and America's Constitution. I'll wager anyone that they will take advantage of their opportunity.

They are worried about a boycott due to Hanks anti-American babblings. Needs to fall flat.

Ratings desperation screed.

What was Band of Brothers like? Twisted anti-Americanism?

I’m sure this will be of interest to watch, but this generation has had enough praise heaped upon it over the decades. Conversely, they did a horrible job raising their children and we’ll have to fight a longer more costly war dislodging their spawn’s god-awful ideology from these shores.

Won’t disappoint? My guess is we’ll see LOTS of play given to cackling GI’s using the flame-throwers on cowering young J soldiers who didn’t really want to be there.

Okinawa? The film will have our GI’s eagerly shoving women & kids off banzai cliff.

I can’t imagine anything made by HBO which is not offensive to conservatives or even decent Americans.

Maybe I will be wrong.

When I first heard about this, the name Sledge rang a bell...sure enough, I grabbed the book (still unread) "With The Old Breed" that he'd authored, and had been mailed by my 88 year old uncle a year or so ago.

Uncle Bill grew up in the Mobile, Alabama area with him and his brother Edward; Eugene shared Bill's love of horticulture............makes it almost personal!

Unfortunately, we don't do HBO nor do we know anybody that does, so the DVD will have to wait.

I was there! I was on Guadacanal, Bouuginville, and Guam Entered in 1942, got out in 1946. I sure hope this is a lot better than some of the others that I have seen. I thought Private Ryan was a total flop. It will be interesting to see this one though. I did like Victory at Sea though.

The very best to you and yours

Dilemma is: would love to support/watch this program but cripes!!! the a**wipes who have made it are illiterate boobs (Hanks and Speilberg) who are best friends with most of the foreign enemies of the USA. Because of thinking like these guys, too many sacrificed all...can’t seem to shake that belief...

My dad was represented in the fighting in the European Theater with Band of Brothers.

One of my friends who has since died was a medic at Iwo. I am sure they will do as good a job with Pacific.

My late FIL was a childhood and lifelong friend of Dr. Sydney Phillips. I’ve been lucky enough to speak with him on several occasions. He’s a great guy, true patriot, and quite a character with a wonderful sense of humor.

I've never paid for a Premium Channel in my life, but I love "Band of Brothers" so much that I ordered HBO. From the comments on the Facebook Fan page for this movie, many people are just like me.

Complaining about the repeated showings of the mental romper room "Bill Maher" and Tom Hanks somewhat weird comments. Most of all, we seem to agree that after 10 Weeks, very few of us will keep HBO.

Hanks’ ignorant babblings this last week have dampened my enthusiasm for this series.

...but I’ll be watching anyway. At least tonight.

I think I will DVR the whole thing and watch it with my older sons. I was listening to Capt. Dye on KFI talk about it. Though I loathe Tom Hanks’s politics, Capt. Dye seems conservative and he was the senior military advisor on this. He says he put two years of his life into it, and that the acting was superlative. He was describing some of it today and it really piqued my interest.

Supposedly this was made to tell the stories of these men. How I hope I am not setting my sons up to watch anything anti-American.

Hanks claimed he made this “tribute” to dying racists.

No thanks!
