Nevermind Ken Burns.I can watch that series...once. Anymore, it makes a great sedative. Garrison Keillor, hands down, the most boring narrator...and the music I think they played it waaaaay too slow. The series overall is good, but GK and the music ruin for me.

funny story, When I was substitute teaching, we were watching the Ken Burns CW show. Ten minutes into the show, a girl turns to me and says; "Is this whole thing gunna be like this?"
"Yes. Yes it is and I'm sorry." I had to watch it 5 times that day.

Another time when I was subbing and I got to pick the material (I was subbing for this teacher for several weeks), I had the class was "Civil War Battles, Battle of Shiloh" by the history channel. It was great, the class (all periods too) really got into the film. That series focuses on one point and a few characters. And in this episode, focuses on the Hornet's Nest.
