I watched it with my brother who had read the book. He said that they obviously had to jump around a lot in order to fit stuff in.Originally Posted by Chip R
So, how accurate was it?
I thoroughly enjoyed it. The portrayal of Ben Franklin was a hoot.
Stick to your guns.
Hey shouldn't this political thread be taken over to the Peanut Gallery? What if a strong supporter of the Hamilton wing of the Federalists stumbled upon this and all heck breaks loose in a discussion over the alien and sedition acts.:
My homepage is Alexander Hamilton's wiki page
Federalist forever!

I should have guessed that you supported that stealth-tory Hamilton, the guy who sent his wife to stay with her family so he could take in a "guest" (Maria Reynolds).
Jefferson would never do anything so sleazy.

Oh really?

I agree.
I think the guy who played Dickenson from PA was great too.
School's out. What did you expect?
I'm under the assumption that there are more parts. Am I correct?
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
I think Dickenson was played by the guy who was in "Damages" on FX last year, Zeljko Ivanek.
I could be wrong, but it sure looked like him.
We'll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost effective ~ Kurt Vonnegut
yeah, I think there are 11.

I don't know his name but he was also on that cop show with Richard Belzer.

I'm sure of it. I understand that since his wife dies, Jefferson's been particularly upstanding and virtuous. They say he's even taken a kindly, parental (I'm sure) interest in one of his young slaves (Sally Hemmings, I think her name is), who gossips say is actually his late wife's half-sister! I'm sure he's concerned that she won't have a female presence to help guide her as she matures and is doing his best to keep her on the right path.Oh really?

I've seen the first two. Part 3 "Don't Tread On Me" premiers Sunday night at 9 PM.
I'm very much enjoying this series.

Is Mel Gibson in it?
Which one? Belzer has played Munch on something like 11 different shows, including Arrested Development.
Anyone else dissapointed with the third epsiode? I wanted some more action finally, but still more drama than anything
