The American President (PBS Box Set) [DVD] - Political Drama Series for Movie Night & History Enthusiasts

We'll always have documentaries (the superb PBS American Experience docs) on Kennedy, Nixon, FDR, Truman, Lincoln, T.R., Reagan etc etc... but where else can you spend any time on Franklin Pierce, Chester Alan Arthur, Rutherford B Hayes, or Benjamin Harrison? Each President gets at least around 15 minutes. Want some William Henry Harrison... a guy that was only President for a month? Well you got him. And that is the best thing about this set. Sure it's better to watch the 4-hour LBJ on The American Experience than to watch him on this... but where are you gonna find some quality time dedicated to Grover Cleveland or James Buchanan? Only here.Next best thing? The Kurnhardts have the most amazing photo collections at their disposal... second to none... and they also spared no travel expense to gather film on location.Least best thing? Like so many other reviewers here, I have to say the fact that they are chronilogically out of order is frustrating. It would be more fun to watch through time as each administration has to deal with so much of the previous administrations issues.
