An interesting observation, Richard. I bet the ubiquitous “Join or Die” ads all over bus benches, etc. helped too. Congrats on the business boost! Let’s hope Mel Gibson’s “The Patriot” makes a comeback on primetime or something…

You know, this is so funny – I watched that whole series (and I actually liked it quite a bit, by the way – was hooked enough to make special scheduling concessions to catch every episode, and even drive an hour both ways to my parents’ house to see it – I’m waaay too frugal for DirecTV…) , and at the same time, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why in my cafepress store sales stats, the Revolutionary War type stuff, especially the ‘Join or Die’ stuff was selling like crazy compared to what it was doing before…

I swear, I think it was the John Adams series! There is no other excuse!

So, if that counts as a metric of how people liked the series (my store sales), then I’d say it was popular

Nothing wrong with being bald, Marc. In fact, I wish they would just embrace and show off their baldness instead of hiding it behind ill-fitting and poorly constructed wigs!

now i read youur review of the first episode and i do agree that you may be being a bit harsh on some picky points…i thought that the acting was good…in fact i felt that it made it easy to watch….i think that it was realistic although did these peaple have any sense of humor? by the way, the wig thing was real…and they all fit poorl;y…not sure if they were all bald…what’s wrong with that anyway?!?!

So happy to have a comment from you, Joel! And I’m glad we were on the same page. If the series gets any better, I’ll be sure to let you know so you can jump back in.

Hope all is well on your side of the sea!

im with you all the way my friend…. i was really excited about this new series because of the general hype and the huge amount of advertising (which completely works on stupid easily infulencable people like meee)…..
but i was really very bored by the end of it… the first ep really didnt make me want to what happened next so i in fact didnt… i just couldnt be bothered to sit through another hour ( felt like 23) of delegating and babbling….
to me the best bit was the comical wigs… this kept me watching and waiting for the wardrobe department to step it up to the next level of hilarity..
maybe its cos im english an it doesnt really have any relevance to me but i just didnt really connect with anything that was happening… sorryyyyyyyy
laters..
