they ran the whole revolution series today and it was ok.
they got about 90% right which is above average for them.
oddly, most of the 10% were errors about washington.

They alway find some guy who looks like he's wearing wooden clothes to

I always liked Gore Vidal's observation that when you are the tallest
person in the room, and wearing a full military officer's uniform,
