Hanks put fresh naration onto the old History channel video.
I think the war narrative is better organized.
It’s on at Dog O’Clock. Got my DVR set for all new episodes. Can skip the ads that way, too.
Me and Beck gonna watch it together.
I haven’t had cable TV in ten years. Is the History Channel actually carrying shows about History? Where do people go for their UFO and pawn shop fix now?
Recording it.
Likewise.
That’s daytime and late night. 
I’m seeing a lot of its footage for the first time. The presentation is quite good, though it runs through a lot of information very quickly,
More will air next Monday.
I can’t imagine a series better than The World at War. I waited three years for it to come to the US back in the '70s.
Victory At Sea has always been my favorite. It’s quite dated by today’s standards but the score is outstanding.
Leonard Graves’ narration is also unforgettable, but I don’t think the two series are comparable. Victory at Sea told the story through vivid images and music. The World at War was more a lushly illustrated graduate-level history course.
It doesn’t get any better than Richard Rodgers. I can’t listen to this theme without getting all choked up.
Good one.
So far, I have watched the first episodes, and so far so good.
I once thought that if we took some German POWs, badly injured and non-nazi, then showed them all the footage of America the Arsenal of Democracy, plus tours, then sent them home- that could have damaged German morale.
Just showing footage of the steel mills in Pennsylvania, the auto and aircraft factories in Michigan, and the shipyards along each coast should have put the idea of declaring war on the US out of the mind of any rational actor.
Yep.
The USA was making 80 tanks and 300 aircraft (100000 in 1944 alone) per day. Not to mention a half dozen ships. The Germans could have watched them rolling off the assembly lines.
