Don't watch much TV but I'm loving this:

John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan rose from obscurity and in the process built modern America. Their names hang on street signs, are etched into buildings and are a part of the fabric of history. These men created the American Dream and were the engine of capitalism as they transformed everything they touched in building the oil, rail, steel, shipping, automobile and finance industries. Their paths crossed repeatedly as they elected presidents, set economic policies and influenced major events of the 50 most formative years this country has ever known. From the Civil War to the Great Depression and World War I, they led the way.

Using state of the art computer generated imagery that incorporates 12 million historical negatives, many made available for the first time by the Library of Congress, this series will bring back to life the world they knew and the one they created. The event series will show how these men took a failed experiment in democracy and created the greatest superpower the world has ever seen. We see how their historic achievements came to create the America of today.

Watched the first episode last night, thought it was awesome. Got it off tpb, the History Channel won't let you watch if you're not in the US. Anyone know where to find the second one?
 
This is why I hate series of programmes. It's so annoying waiting for the next episode - I wish people would tell me about awesome programmes once they're finished. :tongue2:
 
Hopefully it won't get slammed for the "misogynistic" title. But J.P. Morgan for one was an all-time cocksucker

I see that despite it showing on the history channel, there isn't much respect for history here. Oh well. Glad I don't watch tv.

It's not History itself that isn't respected, it's that a channel called History Channel could so blatantly FUCK UP the known facts of past events and then try try to DEFEND their total disregard for THE TRUTH!!!


Lulz


P.S. All the early Business Mogals were RUTHLESS FUCKS!!! So what, they made money. Right?


Remember, human nature really never changes very much regardless of the amount of time it has to learn and grow.
