Reply #31: Australia's record on showing American shows such as the one above

[RFKHumphreyObama]

is slightly mixed. Yes, we do get many HBO shows but I suspect that the problem with a series about John Adams is that many of the commercial networks here will probably not feel that there is enough public interest to screen it. Most Australian viewers will not have heard of John Adams (although opinion polls show that more Australians are more familiar with George Washington than they are with their own nation's first Prime Minister!) and the commercial networks tend to overlook series such as this one for more popular shows.

Our best hope lies with our government-owned TV station. It was the only one which screened "Angels in America", for instance, and it often shows historical series/dramas sch as the one above so that's our best chance of seeing it over here

And you're right -the DVD will come out in due course

Again, I'll have to look out for David McCullough. I like good presidential biographers -Robert Dallek, Richard Reeves, Arthur Schlesigner and Lou Cannon are some of my favorite biographical writers

It's wonderful to see you as well Peggy:hug: :hi: :yourock:
