Yes this is a damn good show. There is a few episodes that is based in the winter time that I have a hard time watching. Very good film, if you don't have it, you should go to Best Buy and pick up the whole series.

My brother gave my Dad the box set for Christmas - I think they've both had ample time to watch it - time to borrow it

Was thinking about getting this for my gung-ho ready-to-go to the Army son... is this appropriate for the 13-15 age range? I remember it being on HBO... and I saw that it's on the History Channel this month, but wasn't sure if that was a cut version or not.
You hear HBO and think Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Sex in the City... etc. |

You'll also get a little language and there might even be a set of tah tahs in there somewhere. I dont think it's MPAA rated, but it would almost certainly be PG-13. |

An excellent show from my standpoint as well.
Says a lot about the character of folks under duress. I think I will check it out again on DVD...very applicable for the times some of us are going thru.

one of the reasons I watch it and enjoy it is that My granddad(pa'pa) went into normandy with the 1st div. he was shot and captured as for as I know(he died a few years ago and never talked about it) around the same time and area of the bulge. So I watch it thinking about how it effected him and how he made it though. Gives me chill bumps everytime I watch.Those boys had it very very hard. REAL heros of this century.

He talked about to me it in detail exactly once, the night before I went into the Navy. By twelve hours after the invasion began bodies began appearing in the sea around the ship. 30 years later and it still choked him up. I worked in a gas station/garage all the way through high school, and the guy I worked for was still popping the occasional piece of shrapnel from both legs; one leg was from D-Day, the other from the Battle of the Bulge. It was very odd to think about it as I was growing up. My dad was an auto parts salesman, but before that he shot down 15+ German planes with a 50cal machine gun. My uncle was an engineer who designed bridges for railroads who was hard of hearing after island-hopping through the Pacific as a Marine. My best friend's dad was an insurance company lawyer with a bum leg from wounds suffered fighting in North Africa. The father of a girl I dated all the way through high school was a Chemical Engineer for Monsanto with a private plane; he learned to fly off carriers in the Pacific. The guy I worked for had a tenth grade education before the war, was a Private when they hit North Africa, a Sgt by the time they went into Italy, and a Captain when they crossed into Germany. Brokaw wasn't lying when he called them "The Greatest Generation." The series is awesome.
