I've enjoyed every Ken Burns production I've seen, although he did kind of lose me with "Jazz". Probably because I'm not much of a Jazz fan. His series on Prohibition was really well done and I learned quite a few things that I never knew about how they managed to convince the whole country to vote away their booze.

I watched some of the World War series last night...seemed like history for people with attention deficit disorder. Pretty darn thin on content, but if you're going to do two world wars in three episodes, you probably don't have much choice. The "acting" was pretty awful.
