history made easy

My adult son and I have enjoyed this series which gives enough information that you want to learn more about the presidents and their lives. It's well done, which is why i ordered a copy to keep.


A GREAT SERIES ON THE PRESIDENTS!!!!!

I purchased my first series some time back and was so delighted by it and by how my students responded to many parts of it, that I just purchased this set for a colleague I work with at the same school. This is a fantastic look at all the men we have selected to lead this great country of ours.


thanks

Thanks, the seller sent the item right away in the condition it stated to be in

Fascinating Until Reagan

I purchased this and love it... It is fascinating all the way through except once you get to the modern group. I feel they focused on Reagan's negatives and made him look at an idiot and discredited his impact in America. They gave Carter an open opportunity to defend his administration himself on the video. I got the "Pre-Obama" (Carter - Bush 43) updated one which is good. I saw the Carter - Obama version on TV and an glad I do not have that one. They cut Bush's segment and added a bit on the "Amazing Hope that Swept Across America" and how America can finally look forward to it's future and all that drivel. Nothing factual. They should have waited till we had three more Presidents and done another special. Regardless of your feeling towards Bush or Obama... It was a puff piece and it is not History... it is adoration. Aside from that... It was a very good piece... Get the pre-Obama one if you can.

Hail to the Series!

The History Channel has come up with a series about our presidents, that is steeped in trivia, without being too deep, and is something from which even Sean Hannity could learn. Our presidents are divided into three DVD's with a bonus feature about some of the wives, very few of whom interested me outside of Eleanor Roosevelt.

This production can tell you who the first re-elected Democrat was since Andrew Jackson, who was the first president from West Point, who was the first born west of the Mississippi, who were grandfather and grandson presidents, who was the only Ph.D. or ordained preacher, where the candy bar, "Baby Ruth" came from, and which Republican president challenged the captains of industry and won. One of my favorites was an actress who sat beside President Calvin Coolidge at a dinner. She turned to him and said, "I bet I can make you say more than two words during dinner." "You lose," he replied.

The series provides an endless stream of information about each of them. A scroll announces each president by habit, personality and temperment, home state, and age upon taking office. Narrator Edward Herman continues telling something about each one. It ends with George W. Bush. The series was circulated in 2004.

I've had this for many months now, but yesterday was one of those lazy, rainy, nothing-to-do days that was perfect for watching "The Presidents." I recommend it for one of yours.

There is going to be a sequel: The History Channel Presents the Vice Presidents.

Just kidding!

THE PRESIDENTS is an unprecedented eight-part survey of the personal lives and legacies of the remarkable men who have presided over the Oval Office. From George Washington to George W. Bush, THE PRESIDENTS gathers together vivid snapshots of all 43 Commanders in Chief who have guided America throughout its history--their powerful personalities, weaknesses, and major achievements or historical insignificance. Based on the book To the Best of My Ability, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James McPherson, THE PRESIDENTS features rare and unseen photographs and footage, unexpected insight and trivia from journalists, scholars, and politicians such as Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Wesley Clark, Bob Dole, and former President Jimmy Carter. Viewed within the changing contexts of each administration, the Presidency has never seemed more compelling and human. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator), this three-DVD set is a proud addition to the award-winning documentary tradition of THE HISTORY CHANNEL®. DVD Features: Feature-length Bonus Program "All The Presidents' Wives"; Timeline of U.S. Presidents; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection
