 Better than ever. July 7, 2008

I watched this with my father when it first was on PBS and we both loved it. I can honestly say it is BETTER than I remembered. That is totally surprising since I have wanted this for so many years and you know how anticipation sometimes overtakes reality. I watched the first two episodes of the HBO John Adams and it can't hold a candle (or oil-lamp)to this. Grizzard and Daniels are especially solid, giving two of the best performances ever to be seen on television. PBS would be wise to reprise this series for broadcast. If you don't feel anything about your country, your family and your mortality after watching this then you really don't have any feelings at all.
Worth waiting for! June 30, 2008

I looked for the Adams Chronicles on dvd about a year ago and was excited when it finally was available. The story is very entertaining. It seemed more entertaining than the new Adams video which was still good. I saw parts of the videos since 1976 when it came out but it was good to see it in its enirety. The advantage over the HBO John Adams is that John Quincy Adams' career is featured.

I have been looking for this series ever since it was shown on PBS. I found that it has even more appeal now. This is a very good look at our country's beginnings. Every citizen should review this series.

Great characters of history come across as very human. This helps us understand the motivations and determination that drove one of our most influential founding father & the personal costs that his public life caused.The Adams Chronicles
