Jenny,
I was beginning to wonder where you were. Glad you are still around. I saw the 
parts about Yosemite and Yellowstone before supper. That was all.

ENTS,

Did anyone watch episode 1?  Time to let someone else make
documentaries about American life. Loved Baseball, Civil War, The
Donner Party, and New York...but this? The writing was poor for the
most part and the information imparted was superficial.  The
cinematography was expensively bland and can he please find a new
Native American music soundtrack? He's used the same chants in so many
shows already.  And I knew he was going to use "bad guy vs. good guy"
to interpret history instead of doing in-depth research.

However, Peter Coyote was great as narrator.

I actually found myself thinking that I didn't really need to visit
Yosemite or Yellowstone after all... (I will, of course, but I just
got so sick of the nonstop Ken Burns Effect camera panning of the
geysers and waterfalls and dome rocks etc....)

I needed a good bout of righteous indignation.

Jenny
