    Default Anybody watching The Roosevelts on PBS

    Just enjoying learning more history about these icons of our American history then I was ever was taught in history books. Ken Burns has another award winning film to his credit.

    We've watched the first two and have the rest recorded. It's been fascinating...a lot about Teddy that I didn't know.

    Wonderful series! But we missed the first couple. DH and I did not know a lot that was in the series so we were very interested in the details. We even went to our friends house last night and was discussing FDR. My DH has a distant deceased relative that "rode with Teddy's Rough Riders".

    Don't worry if you missed it. PBS stuff is around for years. Our library buys their series on CD so you can catch up on Downton Abbey or any of the great shows they do. Ken Burns has done such a great service to our culture with all the series he produced. I've watched parts of the Roosevelts and hope to see more of it eventually.

    I have watched the first 3. I can't seem to watch the long episodes in one sitting. But I have them all recorded and look forward to seeing the rest. It is fascinating. Never knew about Eleanor.
