I'm gonna wait for the DVDs. I've got zero time in my life right now to watch anything. I'd really be interested in this, but now's not the time.

How long till the series is out on disc, d'ya think?

I'm with you on the time crunch. It's coming out soon, 10/2.

I've only looked in on it a bit, but so far it seems like a lot of time spent making the point that, unlike some wars we could name, this war touched everybody.

As far as the war stories go, between Band of Brothers, Studs Terkel and the like, I've definitely got a "seen it" feeling. In terms of jaw dropping footage, my favorites have been the home front mobilization with all the skinny men desperate for work.
