It seems like a good watch. It centers around the time of the American revolution.
check it out HBO Films: John Adams

Dr. Kear same here. I was mostly jealous when I realized most of these men were largely self educated, and we can't even touch their shoes.

I'm not a fan of John Adams as I noted in this thread: http://www.puritanboard.com/f33/real-jefferson-7706/
But I'd still like to see the movie, from what I've read it appears to be a good portrayal of the man.
Of course, it would be hard to top William Daniels as John Adams in 1776. "Sit down, John!"
