I'm re-watching the Civil War right now and I'm pumped for this one as well.

I like a good historical documentary every now and then, but WWII has been covered to death. I'm tempted to try this series...I loved his baseball documentary series.

I'm looking forward to this, though. Hopefully it's in HD

Not sure if this is true with all stations, but locally they're showing the "language edited" version in prime time, and the unedited version after hours.

Am I the only one who finds it odd they chose this week to run it? Why compete with so many premieres and popular returning series? They could have owned the audience a couple weeks ago.

Anyone watching it in HD in Los Angeles? The dialogue is waaaay out of sync; very annoying. The SD feed seems to be fine, or at least closer to being in sync. I'm curious to know if this is a local thing or something else screwy going on.

Since my HD is OTA, I have the main PBS channel and 4 sub-channels. The first episode was played on the main channel at 7, then again on a sub-channel at 9:30. Both stated "HD" in my TiVo guide.
I checked the first showing at 9 when other stuff had finished recording, and it was not in HD. The sub-channel showing was.
The main channel doesn't even broadcast it in HD?
