The World at War for me too. |
| Col Durnford | 16 Nov 2021 5:22 p.m. PST |
In the documentary category, World at War closely followed by Victory at Sea. Both because of great scores. Band of Brothers for historical series. |

Hogan's Heroes, Rat Patrol, MASH. It's called "entertainment," for a reason: they all entertained me, regardless of historical fallacies. I was able to stream Hogan's Heroes, in order, every single episode, on one of my subscription channels. I watched the re-run's as a child, never seeing them in order, nor every episode. It was quite entertaining to watch them properly. Wish I could find the other two on streaming, in proper order, every episode, start to finish… Watched Star Trek: TOS, in order, via streaming. It made a difference seeing it the way it was presented. It was also nice to know that I had seen every episode, to know that I had not missed a single one. Did the same with Star Trek: Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine. Could never watch them that way, when broadcast, too busy, lost track. I do love my streaming. Just wish more classics were made available, in full. Cheers! |

More votes for "Band of Brothers" and "Rome." These are about the only "war stuff" my wife will watch. My intro as a kid was "Victory at Sea." You might note all of these have great music. |
| Escapee | 17 Nov 2021 1:18 p.m. PST |
Band of Brothers and Pacific – these moved me like no other series. Hornblower and Sharpe for good storytelling. Reilly Ace of Spies for atmosphere. John Adams for history. Victory at Sea for music, several others a close second. Hell on Wheels – best western because of the railroads, but Deadwood and Lonesome Dove close. |
| Frederick | 17 Nov 2021 2:20 p.m. PST |
The Last Kingdom for me followed by Hell on Wheels and then Vikings |

I rather like the Spartacus series.
Works for me from more than one angle ;-) Loved Rome. Much good stuff already mentioned. Cheers. |

Band of Brothers I used to talk to WW2 Army Air Force bomber group members. I asked which movie they felt was best as far as their experiences went. Hand's down 12 o'clock High. Many others I enjoy, but will stay with Band of Brothers. |
