Capt. Flint Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Airing Sunday the 12th at 9pm eastern time on the history channel..... The war of 1812. As many of you know, this is a era of history that I love. I wanted to let any interested know, ( if you don't already ). This is supposed to be a good program according to the reviews, with a lot of info. on Fort McHenry. Hope you enjoy..... Flint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjöröveren Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 My one complaint: Why did they hire that actor to play James Madison? The real Pres. Madison weighed about 100 lbs and wasn't much taller than 5 feet. He had very delicate, almose feminine features. This actor was close to 6 feet, well over 200 lbs and had a heavy 5 o'clock shadow. Almost entirely unlike the real Madison. Made about as much sense as having Pee Wee Herman play Ben Franklin. Must have been the producer's nephew or something. Other than that, I loved the show. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Flint Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Why Sjorovern... why you ask?????. the answer is simple.... because he was the only one sober on the day of shooting...... I thought it was welll done. I enjoyed Mayor O'Malley being there. He didn't relate much history, but, he did give a good show with a lot of energy. It's pretty hard to truly relate a multi-year war in only two hours, but, I thought it was very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, seeing as James Madison was well-known for his frequent benders. He once challenged Martin Van Buren to a "belly-bounce battle," but lost, since Van Buren had a good 100 pounds on old Jemmy. Madison also wrote 30 extra amendments to the Bill of Rights, including the Freedom to Fart Like a Sailor Whenever I Want. They didn't make the final cut. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
