Vietnam War - Ken Burns (1 Viewer)

[Combat]

Ken Burns is doing another documentary for PBS. This one on the Vietnam War. His WWII series was a disappointment in my opinion. This one is something like 10+ hours.

Doug,

Agree on WW II. I'm sure this will be interesting. Let's hope it's better.

Did you read about it on the PBS site?

So was "Baseball". "The Civil War" is his best, in my opinion. It set a new standard for documentary films. You can see its influence in series that followed, like "The American Revolution".

It certainly did set the standard. I haven't seen a documentary series as good since that one.

Yeah maybe but I probably saw all the footage on TV from 6:00 to 7:30 PM Monday thru Friday when it happened.

Ditto to that.

Not sure I feel the need to relive those years when I was growing up in the 60s.
