| If you are a baseball fan, you've got to appreciate Ken Burns documentary on baseball. From the writing, to the filming, narration, pictures, video, research, and everything else that make up this series, this is a five star production that was made possible by the film and digital age. |

| As for the person who complained that Martin Scorcese called the '80's the "me" decade, that was a popular theme of the time. Maybe you should go back and look at 80's and the literature about it from all kind of sources. Just like the 20's was often refered to as the "Roaring" 20's. 80's was often called the "me" decade. I also think it is not a liberal or conservative designation. Following the internalization of values and desires in the 70's, the 80's was when technology, growth, income and development ...

| When I was a kid I was taken by the tales of courage and bravery that the movies and books feed people. I read about the fighter pilots and the Commandos. War was all excitement and friends looking out for friends.
Then one day the theme music of The World at War came on, the program launched straight in to archive footage of real battles, all the horror of mangled and mutilated bodies. I was mesmerized and that was the end of my warm and fluffy view of warfare. You only need to see a little bit of ... Read More: |

| 4.The Best of On the Road With Charles Kuralt starring: Charles Kuralt October 21, 1997 |

| Charles Kuralt was the poet of small town America the way Vin Scully is the poet of Dodger Stadium. Relaxed, warm, folksy and deceptively insightful. He had a way of setting you at ease and somehow convincing you that the entire cosmos could be found in the minutia of this one fleeting moment. His beloved little program, 'ON THE ROAD' (1967-80) in which he traveled the backroads of America in a motorhome to show us the real heart of the country was eagerly anticipated by countless people every weekend - myself ...

| 5.The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns (Boxed Set) starring: David McCullough June 03, 1997 |

|
| Ken Burns' epic documentary about the Civil War is perhaps the greatest and most all-encompassing history lesson of the North/South conflict that has ever been put on film or page. Not only is every important detail of the war covered (and in such a way that the details are interesting and important, not boring), but two entire episodes are devoted to the build-up and aftermath of the conflict. Essentially, if you were teaching a class on the Civil War, this video is all you would need, as it both conveys the vital information ... Read More: |

|
| This two volume set; each video fifty minutes long, is like a cliff note version of the Irish coming to America. Talks about English rule over Ireland and the reason they first came to the colonies and the strugles to find themselves in the United States. I just though it could of been more informative and the a little bit longer. |

|
| The greatest compliment to this series is that it has created a torrent of discussion and the debates are still raging. I enjoy this series so much, I watch it nearly every year.
My critique has been discussed at length, so I summarize this way: I appreciate Wynton Marsalis' discussion of the jazz with which he is familiar. This does not qualify Wynton Marsalis to decide, for everyone else, what constitutes jazz when the question of "fusion" comes up. Much of fusion, both then and now, is largely rhythm ... Read More: |

| This is an informative and engaging series that was brilliantly done in 1986. It traces the evolution of the English language. I want to buy this and use it but I can't believe that it isn't on DVD. A series this good (though some parts of it are a little dated) is something everyone who speaks English should see. Five stars are not enough. |
