The DrsC tried an episode of Ken Burns' Vietnam miniseries last night. We didn't even finish the one episode, having both concluded we had (a) lived through the Vietnam experience and (b) had no desire to relive it at Burns' usual snail pace.
So, we cancelled the recording and deleted it from our DVR "record to watch" list. Consider this a review of Burns' Vietnam show, and let's be clear, it is a pan.
Burns manages to make war boring, with lots of people speaking Vietnamese, plus most of the footage in dreary black and white. As over-educated people, the DrsC are supposed to love Burns' work; but neither of us does. He bores us silly.
