i really, really do. i can't imagine cable without it.
my newest reason why: the new miniseries, John Adams.
its so good.
the only thing i can't believe is that they didnt think it made more sense to release it around July 4th...but thats a petty thought-forget i even said that.
back to why its good.
1. great acting. paul giamatti and laura linney are superb as john and abigail adams. the supporting cast (tom wilkinson, justin thoreaux great too).
2. the history is presented in a very exciting and interesting way...i only really get it and appreciate it now as an adult and can't imagine why we expect kids to understand the immensity of this stuff.
3. the sets, costume design, just everything is so well done.
what an amazing man, j-ad was. i had no idea what a significant role he played in forming our nation. gee mom, learning IS fun!
