DeathByAsh'aman · 05-22-2008, 07:23 PM

I dont know, but i am very dissapointed. I dont have HBO anymore ( i refuse to give comcast anymore of my money then nececcary..but thats another story) so i didnt watch it, but i heard good things. I dont buy DVD any longer so this is a rent for me

.

I liked the first 2 episodes but then it got extremely boring, just wasn't my thing. Great set design and costumes though

Jimmy Smith · 05-22-2008, 07:32 PM

Simply one of the greatest mini-series ever put on television. Would be a must buy on Blu-Ray. John Adams managed to humanize the founding fathers while at the same time staying true to history better then any other potrayal. An absolutly marvelous effort its practically criminal its announced for DVD only.

AaronSCH · 05-22-2008, 07:36 PM

Absolutely. Brilliant series.

CptGreedle · 05-22-2008, 08:14 PM

I don't have (and am not willing to pay for) HBO. Is this series any good?

TIki_Guy · 05-22-2008, 08:16 PM

I have all 7 taking up about 20% of the space on my HD TIVO.

I've seen the first 6, and part of the 7th. I ended up getting a call during the 7th one, and went on Vacation, and will probibly watch it this weekend.

I really loved this series and it is a MUST BUY on BD!

I might buy the DVD for someone else, but I figure it will come out on Blu eventually. Didn't the Sapronos come out on BD?

This.

AlaskaDon · 05-22-2008, 10:58 PM

I only caught about 2 episodes of this series, but liked what I watched of it. I would pick it up on Blu provided that they didn't price it through the roof. It would be nice to finally start getting some deals on stuff like this from Best Buy. I got great prices when I picked up Rome in the store. One day hopefully...

danielpwnz · 05-22-2008, 11:20 PM

I loved this show. I will pick up the DVD and sell it back if they ever announce a Blu-ray.

JadedRaverLA · 05-22-2008, 11:49 PM

I loved the series... very well done. If it were on Blu, and at less than the typical HBO prices (ya, know under $130 would be nice), I'd definitely pick it up.

BluRay2344 · 05-23-2008, 01:03 AM

i want Rome on bluray!

iwanttobeabmoviestar · 05-23-2008, 01:40 AM

the sets, costumes ,opening music ect deserve hd blu ray release

EricB · 08-16-2008, 12:53 AM

Yes. I love this series. Paul Giamatti is a good actor and the cast is really good.

ngkf7 · 08-16-2008, 12:56 AM

Phenomenal series. One of the best things I've ever watched on television. I hope its in my price range if it ever goes Blu, cause HBO tends to keep their prices in the rarefied atmosphere.

cigar350 · 08-18-2008, 01:51 AM

Its now listed on amazon.com

MosHighDef · 08-18-2008, 03:33 AM

I liked the first 3 episodes and then it just got super depressing.Love Giamatti though and George Washingtons character. Probably wouldnt buy on blu. They just showed all of them on 4th of July and i dvr
ed and watched them again.

miked924 · 08-18-2008, 03:40 AM

Of course it looked great and all but it was kind of painfully slow at times, wouldn't even dream of watching this in it's entirety again. Even those who loved it, how many times could you sit around and watch this honestly?

thebluemax · 08-18-2008, 04:13 AM

It was very good, but I could in no way watch it again-pass on DVD and Blu-Ray.

I saw it on DVD now, and i can say that it would be watched maybe 3 times within a year at my house.
