The National Parks: America's Best Idea - Blu-ray Forum

BluLobsta · 09-27-2009, 11:08 PM

Anyone watching this six-part PBS series on The National Parks that was directed by Ken Burns? The premiere is tonight. It looks like a great film if you're into some of the most stunning scenery that nature has to offer combined with an undoubtedly interesting human story as well.

I'm glad this is airing on PBS. I was going to blind buy the blu-ray set next week, but it looks like I'll be able to preview it tonight. I'm surprised it is being released on Blu-Ray at the same time it is airing for the first time on PBS.

No way, I didn't even notice this was coming out on Blu?!?! Nice! The first episode was very good. People would just stumble on Yosemite and Yellowstone before anyone knew it was there and it would become pure religion...wild stuff....besides exterminating the American Indian culture of course

I'll screen before I buy as well...

I caught some of it this weekend. It was pretty good, not for the narration so much as the old pictures. It's a very rich subject, but leaves Burns little opportunity to express his white guilt, so it's surprising he chose to do a documentary on the parks.
