Watching this series, I really feel like I was experiencing retrocognition and seeing back in time to all the memorable moments in George Washington's life. This series was done so well, captures your attention and holds it all the way, detailing Washington's life as well as important battles and events in two wars, and all the steps on the way to American independence, never going over the top or getting melodramatic, giving you a feeling that this was the way it all really happened.
Ever since I watched this, whenever I read or think about George Washington, Barry Bostwick comes to mind, just like Patty Duke has become Martha. If ever two people deserved Emmy awards, it was certainly them!
This series is full of famous faces and ones you'll recognize from TV: Jose Ferrar, James Mason, Hal Holbrook, Lloyd Bridges, Trevor Howard, Richard Kiley, Jaclyn smith, David Dukes, everyone was great!
A series not to be missed!
