John Adams
 

The HBO series starts tonight, set your Tivos and DVRs! Tonight, Adams defends the Redcoats in a court of law. Later, the Declaration of Independence.

Eh, if you don't have HBO, a Tivo, DVR, or a TV, no need to post.

Sounds interesting but I gave up on HBO after they ruined Deadwood by cancelling it.

Deadwood was really good.

Arrgh, first reply, Wos doesn't have HBO. :dead:

John Adams > Deadwood.

Post your own topic :arrgh!:

I'm currently about 1/3rd the way through the book. John Adams was a great American.

He was indeed, great American, great man. That's a really good book, btw.

That's the second book i've read from David McCullough, the first one being "1776". Both are excellent.

I'm been watching it tonight. Paul Giamatti was a good choice for Adams. Must admit I hardly recognized David Morse as Washington. Must be the powdered wig. :ping:

I just got done watching the series. So far I love it. I guess I didn't really understand the full extent of what John Adams did. :up:

I'm a big Laura Linney fan, so I'll be watching.
I'm just bothered by Paul Giamatti playing Adams. I've seen him in many, many films, and he was a fool charcter in all of them. So everytime I see him, I think of that fool type he always seems to play. I couldn't finish Sideways it was so distracting. Maybe this show will change that.

He didn't play the fool in Saving Private Ryan. I'm just sayin...

He's in that?
Never seen it >_>

It wasn't a big part.

But the last Paul Giamatti movie i saw was "Shoot 'em up" which will be a biiiiiiiiiiiig stretch from that character to John Adams. :D

I'll have to look out for this. IMO HBO make some of the best American TV shows I've seen.:up:

Its a real shame Deadwood was cancelled. :yep: :damn:

Well, for God's sake, make the third book Truman then......
