Hatfields and Mc Coys - Frisco-Online Forums

I know this will get moved, but everytime I check out common grounds, I just hear crickets. I am really enjoying this show, well written, great acting, and I've probably learned more about living in the Civil War era, than all My years spent in Calif public school. I think this is one of the best History channel shows in a while.

Good to hear. I'm recording it.

I'm loving it and I am not a history or western buff. I tried explaining it to my oldest, 16. He just laughed and said something about a soap opera sounding.

I highly recommend watching the Civil War series by Ken Burns.

My husband recorded it so we can watch this weekend. He's convinced it'll be great because it has Kevin Costner in it and because it's a western. The added bonus is he thinks it'll be fun to see the Hatfield side of things because my mother's side of the family is Hatfield. I keep reminding him it's a made for TV movie.

Great little miniseries. I'm stunned that my California education taught me more about their feud than my DH's Washington DC education.

Really looking forward to part 3.

A friend of mine, Matt Barr, is actually in the show!

I'm really really enjoying it too! Wouldn't consider it a western though. It takes place in West Virginia and Kentucky, not the wild wild west. However, there is certainly a LOT of violence.

Whit, Matt Barr is great as Johnsey - my 22 year old daughter is in love!

Watching it too. It's very good. I also love the Lonesome Dove series.
