Love it, it’s right in my wheelhouse – about WWII and done in that authoritative PBS/Ken Burns style. The only problem so far was the added on segment about the hispanic soldiers, “Carlson’s Raiders”. I understand the justification for adding it, but man the way they tacked it on was sloppy as heck. The program is done, then it starts up again for this 10 minute sequence. I’ll still be watching the rest though.

Also, can someone at WETA and Comcast please update their tv schedule info? I wanted to watch the show in HD but the guide on the HD PBS channel said it was something else entirely.

    I agree. The Ken Burns epic is almost as good as The Civil War epic was. However, I hope it doesn’t impel any young viewers to do something foolish like sacrifice their life for the fiend in power right now.
