LN Review.

Rating: 5
It was a gift and the person really enjoyed it. They were so happy that it was the original John Adams and not the one from HBO.

A HISTORY CLASS THAT YOU WILL ENJOY ATTENDING THROUGH EACH EPISODE.

Rating: 5
The history of the John Adams generations beginning with the second President takes in many other historical figures associated with that Adams path. Washington, King George III, John Hancock, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, and others were there when the Adams family worked in their way to make America the United States. What this delightful video history also presents, in addition, is the powerful force that wives and children had upon the family leadership. Of course, the children would eventually become the leaders in the family as well as the nation.

"The Adams Chronicles" is 13 chapters/episodes of a family 4-generation history that impacted upon every American. Also other countries. Although not every detail of this family could be put into this 13 hours of history, enough is there. We have the personal side of the Adams' history due to the preservation of the letters of John and Abigail (Smith) Adams. This set of DVDs will take you back to a time when American history began producing heros. A necessary set for every school and every American family. Highly recommended.

Poorly Done.

Rating: 1
This was a disappointment after watching "John Adams (HBO Miniseries)". Characters, script, filming, settings seemed to be of very low budget quality.

Switch roles.

This was a very good TV series about John Adams and his descendents; However, I felt that George Grizzard should have been John Quincy Adams and William Daniels should have been John Adams within this series.

The reason for this is due to the fact that Mr. Grizzard didn't quite pull off Mr. Adams's famous "tempermental and dislikeable" personalty, and Mr. Daniels did in his role as John Adams in the movie/musical "1776".
