Good week for HBO to release John Adams on BRD
I caught a couple episodes of John Adams on HBO and I was impressed. Timing is everything and HBO could have capitalized a little bit on Independence Day by releasing John Adams on Blu-Ray this week. Damn it.

I would like to see the series on BD, but I just watched the whole thing in HD and probably wouldn't watch again for a while.
What's more confusing is why they didn't choose to air it initially in July.

Wasn't HBO getting out of HDM for a while due to the poor sales of the high-priced Sopranos half-season sets? John Adams may have been a casualty of this decision.
They (or is it Warner?) are coming back with Band of Brothers, but that's later in the year.

I understand your point, but HBO has never really shied away from the summer - Six Feet Under ran for years during the summer; Entourage and Big Love have as well.
