Sons of Liberty
« on: January 29, 2015, 03:26:28 PM »
Aired early this week on History formerly known as The History Channel. 

I have only watched the 1st episode on Demand and had to rewind it a couple times as I drifted asleep on the couch. 

It's more fiction than fact.

 It would be interesting to get a take from Tarheel on this show. 

I'm going to watch all episodes over the next few days mainly because I don't have much going on.

Have it DVR'd also. There were so many historically inaccurate mistakes in the first one that I turned it off but on a night that nothing else is on I finish it.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

I watched it Tuesday night up until Justified came on.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I don't even want to drink Sam Adams beer anymore.

I don't think the writers/producers intended the show to be factual but more for the entertainment value which isn't necessarily bad. 

I'm mean we all know...Samuel Adams was a beer maker and the Yanks called it macaroni.

Ehhh it's called taking liberties to get people to watch it. I expect it. It was well done though. The general idea is the same.

What I did watch was well done.  Almost didn't want to switch over to my story (As Grandma called it)  It reminded me of one of my top 5 evah movies, The Patriot.  We can get into a debate over good movies and The Patriot may not be in anybody's top 100. Don't care. I'll watch it every time it comes on.
