They are playing all during the day today the episodes of Battle 360, the whole series of the Aircraft Carrier the Enterprise and its whole history in WWII in the pacific, wow are they addicting to watch. Watched 3 in a row this morning and had to make my self stop, recording the rest. Great show, gets you emotionally involved though
I also watched the X-Day Invasion Of Japan that was on last week on History Channel International, 2 hours long, never got boring. Really makes you understand why they dropped the nuclear bombs, and that they were only part of the reason that Japan surrendered.
Tonight they have another extreme marksman on at 8pm, the last one was really good, this one looks good too

I'll be watching the new extreme marksmen..that show was wicked.
My sister DVR'd the behind the scenes show on the white house...the amount of history in just artifacts in the white house is just plain sick
Jer WTF are you talking about? There is an SD and an HD version, and an international version as well.

those battle 360s on the Enterprise are unbelievable. The story is better then any movie you have ever seen. There must be 12 in all, ive watched 5 of them, have the rest on DVR. God damn Japanese are pretty unbelievable, ill never understand how such a small nation could mass resources like they did, especially their air force and navy

Yeah for sure... The Big E was one hell of a vessel. It was always on the front lines and endured some serious ass battles. It was really sad that they couldn't turn it into a floating museum, she was sold for scrap instead. Kind of a slap in the face to the crew but by wars end the future was jets and the Big E just wasn't outfitted for it

i had the season recorded on my DVR, but its on the fritz and keeps freezing. Have to switch it out and was so pissed i was going to lose all the episodes i havent seen yet, but looked on amazon and they have the whole season on the enterprise on DVD, only $30, going to pick it up.
Has anyone seen the World At War series that Time Life sells? I wanted to buy it, but read some reviews and i guess its all wrote from the British perspective, and doesnt represent Americas part in the war like it should. I guess its pretty thin when it comes to the war in the pacific too

Ben did you see that Enterprise rent-a-car sponsored this show early on? It was presented commercial free because the owner of Enterprise rental car served on the Big E
