That's why there are different flavors of ice cream.
I watched The Civil War twice on PBS and then bought the DVDs (as part of a PBS fund raiser).
I never watched his baseball stuff. Baseball itself is too boring to watch, let alone a documentary about baseball.
Even though I lived and breathed baseball when I was a kid.

the civil war just moved too slowly for me. like you said, different strokes for different folks.
the tenth inning was maybe too quick moving. seemed disjointed

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet as I do not appear to get PBS. Is it available for viewing on the PBS website?

Very well done series.
Seems to have pretty well covered the realities of those years.
