Show-pimping "John Adams"

This is the much-touted (by which I mean: lots of advertising dollars pumped into it) HBO mini-series about one of the founding fathers and our second president ... also father of our sixth president.

It's a really good production -- everything very authentic looking and the acting is top-notch. There are seven episodes, and the first two aired this past Sunday. After airing, HBO puts them up in the On-Demand holding area. I think the new episodes are on Sundays, but true to HBO form, they re-run them all week long. I'm hoping they come out with a DVD soon because I'd love to see this mini-series back to back.

I also recommend going to the HBO site to check out the behind-the-scenes and making-of segments. And for a bit of fun, take a look at this spoof review from "Best Week Ever."
