If ya happen to be a history geek like myself, these are great alternatives to regular, boring television. If ya happen to like the television going while you are doing other things, this also works a lot better than court television or game shows, lol! Lots of great extra footage & background located in the "extras" areas of these shows. If you are remotely interested in history other than American History, I would recomend them. I think the history that precedes our modernized culture is awesome. These movies also serve well as learning tools for kids, and great to have on hand. Interesting to watch over and over, and a great addition to your educational video library.

This series was great. They did a marvelous job of compacting hundreds of years worth of history in to a few hours. If your a teacher they are a great tool both for an over view/refresher for your self as well as a great visual for the students. I gave it 4 1/2 stars (I know theres no 1/2 but they don't offer that) because there is always room for improvement and there were some areas (Particularly in the Greek film) were I would have liked to have seen a little more detail but considering that thy already spent 16.5 hours making it i guess they did have to draw the line somewere :). I still would bye them again if These were damaged. There that good.
