Semi-History Channel Strikes Again
In case you've been watching the History Channel's "Son's of Liberty"
I hate to dissapoint you, but as usual the series is more fiction than fact. http://news.yahoo.com/five-big-myths-sam...09583.html However, who knew that the British General Gage's wife was so attractive (she managed to keep her youthful appearence after bearing 10 children) and she really may have actually supplied the Sons of Liberty with military information. It appears this may have resulted in some disruption to their matrimonial harmony. http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2009/05/...-gage.html So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

Like a Boston Irishman playing Col Prescott at Lexington? Well, if you think that the Am Revol selections are bad wait until they do the Alamo in a month or two. That ought to be a doozy! But it ain't as bad as O'Reilly's killing Lincoln. Maybe it will stimulate some body will read a real book on the Revolution. Dream on, Billy Boy!

I watched some of this as well. Definitely some head scratching moments historically speaking. I certainly understand creative license, but I never understand why producers of these type of programs feel they have to inject drama into a story that had plenty of its own accord.

On a similar note, check out the ladies' off-the-shoulder day dresses and plunging necklines in this trailer for "Point of Honor." Well, it does get hot in Virginia . . .

The third part of Sons of Lib was shot to hell, to put it bluntly. Blows my whole theory of giving TV a break.

The History Channel has a long reach to call itself history.Case in point is Pawn Stars,When I went there in Las Vegas this December,they told me that my Civil War buttons and beltbuckles were too rare to purchase or appraise.Go Figure!

Well, it does get hot in Virginia . . . It was getting a tad warm while I was watching the trailer.... ------- Your right about the costumes. A lot of interesting comments on that site about them. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
