Has anyone seen HBO's new series John Adams? It is SO good. I feel like I have learned so much more about what really happened with the founding fathers watching this than I ever learned in school. I also have DRASTICALLY changed my opinion of Benjamin Franklin because of this show...me no likey Mr. Franklin.

I watched a special talking about this show it looked wonderful! I don't have HBO!

When it eventually comes out on DVD, you should watch it. It is really awesome. I have so much respect for John Adams now. In my history classes in school, they just kinda glossed over him. Too bad. That guy is a rock star.

franklin was a drunk. They had to have people follow him around and keep him from blacking out drunk if i remember correctly

We have been watching this and it is very good. I'm sure you already know this but it was based on a book, which I have sitting on my shelf, but haven't had time to read yet.

I no likey Mr. Frankie either, he's a dirty old man.

The only objection I have to this series, is the filming. Have you noticed that they film several scenes on an angle? For instance the people are upright but the back ground is on an angle. Every time that happens I tip my head to the side and DH laughs. He must love me.

I hadn't noticed that about the filming, but I'm sure from now on, that is all I'm going to notice!! So many of the shots are set up to look like paintings which I think is really cool.

And yes, Ben Franklin is DIRTY. EWWW!

Nah, you haven't ruined it for me, but i will be paying closer attention to the camera angles!!

did you see it? huh huh did you see the angled shots?

Yes, I saw the angled shots. They are a bit goofy!! I meant to reply back to you to let you know I had seen them, but then I forgot! I still love the series, even with the weird camera angles!

I still love it too. But the first few episodes got on my nerves. But it is really good.

We watched Part 5 yesterday, now I feel like I'm drunk when I'm watching it!! They really did do some weird camera play in it.

I know...I'm sorry! I really want to watch this series, but we DVR it and then try and watch it on Sunday nights around 10:30 and I have fallen asleep the last two weeks! Do you think it is a little boring...or should I just watch it earlier?

I don't find it boring, so I think you should probably watch it earlier. I'm in bed around 10:30!! I'm such a light weight!

Obviously I'm a light weight too.. I will try earlier.
