DVD Reviews of The History Channel Presents The Presidents
DVD Review: VERY INTERESTING
Summary: 5 Stars
THE PRESIDENTS IS A WELL MADE DOCUMENTRY FROM THE HISTORY CHANNEL. IT FLOWS SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL THE PRESIDENTS AND HAS LITTLE BITS OF TRIVIA THROUGHOUT. MY SON, WHO WAS NEVER INTERESTED IN HISTORY IN SCHOOL, ENJOYS THIS ALOT. AS A BONUS, THERE IS ALSO AN ADDED DOCUMENTRY ON THE FIRST LADIES. GREAT PRICE TOO.DVD Review: Who Knew Learning History Could Be so Addictive?
Summary: 5 Stars
Informative and inspiring--it inspired me to read up on the Presidents because this is more like an overview that will have you wanting to know more. (So I got the The History Channel Presents The Revolution and the The French Revolution (History Channel) and I'm looking forward to watching more) Who knew learning about history could be so addictive?)
For every American, I feel this is a must-see. And see what it inspires you to know more about next. (They need one with Clinton and George W. though... I hope they come up with those soon, and they better be unbiased :)
BTW, if you like this collection, a must-must-see is The Presidents Collection
DVD Review: Fascinating, but not the greatest source of information
Summary: 4 Stars
The History Channel has once again made a pretty good documentary and view of our 43 presidential administrations. It kept me glued to the t.v. the entire time and really gave lots of information about the president's personal lives that a lot of people wouldn't originally know. However, I was sort of expecting it to focus more along the lines of a detailed background of their policies and accomplishments of their administrations, not their personal life.
The History Channel's "The Presidents" is a very interesting film, but if you are planning on using this in a classroom, I wouldn't bother because it doesn't focus on the most important information and the high points of their lives. If you are just interested in other aspects of our president's lives, the I would definitely recommend this for you to watch. It will be worth your time.
DVD Review: The Presidents
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful set for anyone who enjoys American History, especially our presidents! I ordered a set for our Christian Day School; was so impressed, I ordered more for myself and others. Once you start watching, it's hard to find a stopping place until you've finished! One thing especially pleased me, it was not "party-biased". I felt the good and bad was reported with reasonable balance for all the men.DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
very surprised and entertained. just purchased the states right after the viewing of this.
Description of The History Channel Presents The Presidents
THE PRESIDENTS is an unprecedented eight-part survey of the personal lives and legacies of the remarkable men who have presided over the Oval Office. From George Washington to George W. Bush, THE PRESIDENTS gathers together vivid snapshots of all 43 Commanders in Chief who have guided America throughout its history--their powerful personalities, weaknesses, and major achievements or historical insignificance. Based on the book To the Best of My Ability, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James McPherson, THE PRESIDENTS features rare and unseen photographs and footage, unexpected insight and trivia from journalists, scholars, and politicians such as Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Wesley Clark, Bob Dole, and former President Jimmy Carter. Viewed within the changing contexts of each administration, the Presidency has never seemed more compelling and human. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator), this three-DVD set is a proud addition to the award-winning documentary tradition of THE HISTORY CHANNEL?.
