I thought that was one of the worst-produced specials on PBS in a long
time. I just couldn't get interested, even though I love watching
history specials. Speaking of which, the special on the History
channel was really excellent.

I taped the Columbus one on PBS, but turned off the recorder after
about the first twenty minutes - it just never got any better.
