Have watched it. Would definitely recommend it.
Just the best war series you will ever see.
Probably the best thing ever put on TV
I am serious. I have never watched it as we usually never subscribe to HBO, Showtime, etc even before we cut the cord.
Dude, seriously. Even if you never had HBO you should have known and heard about BoB. Simply put, it is the best thing ever produced for television.
A must see and I loved it. Especially WW2 from beginning to end. The greatest generation, I got to see where my father went from being drafted out of H.S.to fight the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. Can't wait to see it again! A true masterpiece!
I'd say a lot of people have watched it. It was on Disney Channel for years and they all three have gone on to lucrative careers. A true American success story.
I had heard of it but never watched it just like I have heard of Game of Thrones but never watched it. Just because something is highly acclaimed doesn't mean it's great for everyone. Just asking for opinions.
OT, but would you guys recommend The Sopranos? Anybody here watched it? TIA.
Has anyone heard of The Godfather? I think it is about crime, or a family, or a family crime or something like that. I also understand there is a sequel worth watching? If anyone has ever watched this movie, let me know what you think of it. Thanks in advance.
I am of the opinion you shouldn't start threads asking about whether you should watch a universally-loved 16 year old mini-series. What's next, Lonesome Dove?
I am of the opinion if you don't like the title of a thread you don't click on it and sure as heck don't waste your precious time to post in it.
Douchebag responses from guys who think they are the next comedy star is why I hate posting in the Paddock. I ask a genuine question but 1/2 of the responses are [poop]
It is extremely good. Watch it. I never had HBO but saw it.
I have it on BluRay. One of the best TRUE stories of all time.
Every damned part.
It is great. Starts slow but after you know the folks it is really, really good.
Wonderful.
Geeze we are going to keep the starter of the tread busy for weeks.
Lonesome Dove is wonderful.
meeksfor3, I did not bring in the S.O.B.s They came uninvited. Every damned one of them.
The Allies win, sorry for the spoiler
Great. Way to ruin the ending.
Watching The North and the South over the long weekend. Hope no one tells me how this civil war thing turns out.
One of the best mini-series of all time. I cannot recommend it enough.
Came out in 2001. Pretty much everyone I know that has respect for those that served have seen it. It will bring tears to your eyes
It is the way of The Paddock. Tons of online reviews could have given you all the info you needed.
Frankly, you got off easy in this thread. I'm surprised people haven't made more fun of you.
when you see the interviews from the actual living members at the time of Easy company tell their stories, it is gut wrenching. best mini series ever. i own the dvds and the book. can watch it over and over.
interesting tidbit, Blythe didn't really die in battle. Also at the end when Winters gives the Nazi officer his pistol back, in real life he kept it. He realized after he took it that it had never been fired, so he made sure that he put it up and never fired it either. Kinda cool
Damn Meeks. Touchy little itch aren't ya. Not sure Band of Brothers is for you. If a couple of guys giving smartass answers gets you riled up. Then watching that series just may give you ptsd. [eyeroll]
One of the best mini series of all time. I've watched it 5 times and will most likely watch it again next year.
Those dudes would **** on our generation full of safe spaces and hurt feelings.

There was an older gentleman that used to volunteer at the local YMCA in Fort Worth. Friendly guy and we used to converse about sports quite frequently. We were talking about military service one day and I mentioned that my father was in the 101st but only in the occupation forces in Germany. He then told me that his brother was one of the original Band of Brothers and I really did not know what to say. I looked it up later and it was one of the guys from New York but I cannot remember his name. In any case, just goes to show that it's a small world.
Not sure I can tell you how it ends, seems like it is still going on, at least in some peoples minds
BOB is good in showing the war in Europe. The Pacific is good for showing WW2 in the Pacific, both really good.
