I'm not going to say much in today's segment, just a short opinionated statement. Ryan and I have watched the most acclaimed, most critiqued story of the Bible since The Ten Commandments and The Passion of The Christ - The History Channel's, "The Bible". We have been watching it for over a month now, and we've thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now, I know most of you straight folks are asking, "Why are these two gays, "Ryan and I" watching a series that condemns homosexuality?" But ye of little faith, behold your judgement. Need I remind you that the Bible contains 6 admonishments to Homosexuals and 362 to Heterosexuals? But that's besides the point -Roma Downey (Touched by Angel) and Mark Burnett(Survivor, The Voice, Celebrity Apprentice) have done a decent job with the show.
Sure, they could have chosen another actor to play Satan instead of someone that looked like our President, and used someone a little darker to play Jesus, instead of the hot, Abercrombie model they chose to use; But then conservatives wouldn't have watched it, and liberals would have shunned it. And just so you know -while The History Channel has garnered the most viewers it has ever collected in it's lifetime, the producers of the show love our President, are Christian and have contributed to the Democratic Party. Now that I've clarified that, run, hypocritcal Christians, run!!!!
The Bible, covers as much as it can in such a short span. It's almost impossible to make a movie or series that would cover every aspect of the Bible, but you could obviously tell Burnett and Downey were trying to link the story of Jesus from the very Beginning. Tonight we watch the series Finale, as our savior will die for all your sins.
If you've never seen this, you should. It is one of the best television mini-series I have ever seen. It aired in April of 2010 on The History Channel, and I'd have to say I learned things I never knew about our country. Ryan and I initially saw it on TV, but later purchased it on Blu-ray, and it's even far more beautiful than I expected.
America: The Story of Us aired as a six-part mini-series consisting of 2 hours each episode. From the creation of our country to it's current state. I have listed the episode guide after the jump, and have included the trailer below, it truly is fascinating. The first episode re-airs tonight on the History Channel at 10/9 C. So whether you use your DVR, rent it on netflix, or purchase it, you will not be disappointed.
A six-night miniseries presenting the history of how the United States was invented, looking at the moments where Americans harnessed technology to advance human progress -- from the rigors of linking the continent by transcontinental railroad to triumphing over vertical space through the construction of steel-structured buildings. The series also is a story of conflict, with Native American peoples, slavery, the Revolutionary War that birthed the nation, the Civil War that divided it, and the great world war that shaped its future.
