    John Adams mini-series on HBO (16-March)

    Wow, looks like HBO has done it again, this John Adams mini-series looks good & it has some excellent actors.

    http://www.hbo.com/

    Paul Giamatti is great & I am happy that he decided to work on a project like this, kind of funny that Tom Wilkinson (a Brit) is playing Ben Franklin, no problems with it, Tom Wilkinson is one hell of an actor.

    I just added HBO again just for this miniseries. Paul Giamatti IMO is one of Hollywood's best actors. This should be a great series.

    Just got done watching Part 1 and 2, simply fantastic! It really was outstanding. I'm looking forward to next weeks "Don't Tread on Me" episode.

    I thought this only airs on March 19? Two parts came out already?!

    I am EXTREMELY excited about this. I wonder how many people have actually read the book though. Huh?! haha

    Part of me hates it when things that I love go mainstream. :evil:

    I think the first two parts aired tonight. Despite Mike's reminder, and me thanking him for the reminder, I still forgot to watch it or record it. I'll watch the re-airing tomorrow I guess. :)

    WOW! I am into the first hour & the show is amazing, it really captured the signs of the time, was impressed with even the background noise....

    Yeah, this is definitely a DVD purchase to be made.

    Critics are saying if this doesn't win many awards, that the awards must be fixed or something.

    I missed what has shown so far so I am going to just have to wait for the DVD set to come out.

    No HBO, so I guess I'll wait for the DVD release.

    Until reading reviews for this movie, I had no idea he is the son of the late Bart Giamatti, former MLB Commissioner.
