Adam's Awesome Anecdotes

I just finished up the first episode of the new history channel mini-series, “America: The Story of Us” (http://www.history.com/shows/america-the-story-of-us).  It moves a little slowly and the special effects are both good and at the same time a bit corny, but overall it’s really a well-told, nice concise history.  Plus it’s full of all kinds of random stats and facts.  Some I remember from school while others are completely new to me.  Also, they have some interesting commentators / guests.  Even if you already know all of this stuff, it’s still probably worth checking out if nothing else for the excellent dramatic flair they give the story.  I hope the other episodes are just as good!
