I still watch it in reruns. Actually when the White House was built it was simply called the Presidential Mansion. It wasn't until our English cousins put it to the torch and it was painted white to cover the fire and smoke damage that it became known as the White House. When I comment on some gross historical error my wife says 'Johnny, it's only a tv show'. And that's all it is, just a good old Walt Disney tv show. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161528212513942660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-89785254899734336812014-02-22T14:31:14.943-05:002014-02-22T14:31:14.943-05:00Daniel Boone was no place to learn

I was going to recommend my young niece start watching the series to learn about history. But after seeing that show, I've reconsidered. What a shame as it would have been a fun way for her to learn some history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-26181965579661134772013-11-28T18:59:52.240-05:002013-11-28T18:59:52.240-05:00I have seen the episode''Take the Southbou...I have seen the episode''Take the Southbound Stage''It is generally well written,it features a fine group of character actors;Torin Thatcher, Mabel Albertson, Arnold Moss,Paul Brinegar, Robert Donner.But overall it is a major disappointment;One of the best aspects of a kidnapping story is to see the victim held captive, tormented by his captors andhow they respond.But in this episode once POTUS is kidnapped we never see him again until after Dan''l Boone rescues him.What a letdown.John Adams was like all His family a prolific writer.Had this incident really happened you have to believe that ''Old sink or swim''would have written a book about it or at least left an extensive entry about it in His autobiography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
