Thge TV Series

There's also a 3 season series available through Amazon Prime staring Timothy Olyphant. Only the very last episode was a let down.

Highly recommended.

D/L last night, hope to watch it tonight. Speaking of television... with this week being the 75th anniversary of D-Day, I was expecting to see a bunch of documentaries popping up but so far I haven't seen any listed.

Prepare thyself for " lyin', murderin', cheatin', connivin' "; followed by Swearengen's favorite all purpose word...

A lot.

The wife and I own the Box set of the series. We know exactly what we're in for. At one time I had an audio clip of Calamity Jane saying her favorite word(s) that would play every time I got a new email.

Well worth the wait. If Milch is suffering from dementia, it certainly wasn't apparent in the writing.

History Channel's got something tomorrow night at 9. And Nat Geo has a D-Day themed Drain the Ocean coming up sometime, I think maybe Monday night.

Thanks Snake, I'll keep my eyes open. Looking for new stuff for the 75th as I have hours of Nat Geo, Smithsonian and HC stuff already.

Sorry I recommended this. What a silly PC fest. If one had never heard of D-Day before, one would think from watching this that at least half the US troops that hit Omaha and Utah beaches were Black. There were also shout-outs to women, Latinos, Indians, and Japanese-Americans that had nothing to do with D-Day.

And the "never before seen footage" was mostly that of modern day re-enactors and actors, which they attempted to make look old. And, of course, various random clips from nearly every part and every time of the war.

Sadly, I'm not surprised. HC hasn't been good for 15-20 years. And anytime you add reenactments to a documentary, it usually turns out bad.

..... Might be better just to sit back and watch THE LONGEST DAY or SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.

Tommy Gunn,

Those are 2 of my favorite movies, along with A BRIDGE TOO FAR & PATTON.

Btw, if any of you have a complete set of used DEADWOOD that you want to rent/loan/sell, I would be interested.
