Would you watch a show about the Civil War?

I don’t think I would. I didn’t watch The Blue and the Gray either.

I guess Glory(film) doesn’t count, huh?

I think the revolutionary is a much more interesting time, then brothers fighting brothers.

If it was on HBO I probably would, but I don’t think any of the major networks have the balls to pull off an original, entertaining and thoughtful show on such an important part of American History.

Probably not. I find most american history pretty damn boring though.

Which one?

I would watch a documentary, but I don’t care to watch war movies regardless of era.

The one in your skull, of course :D

@ragingloli – Whenever someone speaks as if there is only one of something, when there are in fact many, just assume they are American and mean the American version. Insular much?

Nope, I personally find it boring and there’s too much hate and stupidity involved.

The English Civil War?

Definitely not

i think it would be kinda cool. i’d check it out, but it has to be really good to keep my attention.

I think you mean historical fiction. I used to like that especially as a kid. Nowadays it is fun to watch but I have become more of a practical realist and prefer historical nonfiction….I prefer to read about history.

Probably.

I would much rather watch a well-made documentary or something.

You mean like North and South? I didn’t watch that.
I like the Ken Burns documentary.

I would probably watch it. The Civil War (American) is interesting. Would much rather see something on the Irish one in the early twenties though.
