    I don't watch a lot of television so I may be late of this, but the History Channel show "The Men who Built America" is just fascinating. I am watching the episode about JP Morgan intertwined with Thomas Edison. Absolutely incredible.

    If you get a chance, watch it. I plan on taping the series, it is that good in my opinion.

    Those shows are fantastic. Gives you a real insight on just how things came to be and how important these men were.

    Not sure if the ones being shown now are the same as those that were shown previously.

    It should be mandatory for history class in school.

    t, I think it is the same episodes shown before, I am just real late watching it. Man the little details I am picking up are awesome.

    Makes you proud of our original economic freedoms.......

    Yea its pretty decent show. Actually really like watching History channels documentary stuff but any more they are few and far between with all the staged reality shows.

    I watched the one about Carnegie earlier, it was great and I plan on recording the series now.
