Teachers totally need to scratch any history lesson about this time off the lesson plan and just show this series instead because it's mucho more entertaining than the texts books and you get a sense for what it was like at the time. Of course if I was still in 7th grade (or whenever you learn about the birth of our nation) I doubt I would watch with as much attention as I do now, and I'd probably be three pages deep into a note about Hottie McHottie pants who sits at the front of the bus, but still, I'm sure some geek would enjoy it and the rest of us could just laugh at all their funny looking wigs and that would be fine too.
Anyways watching this started to get the most exciting when all the super stars started making their appearance. Benny Frank, good ol' George Washington (who was apparently an amazon man, really super tall) and of course Thomas Jefferson. Man, lemme tell ya, Tommy J. was a total FOX! Or I mean the character who plays him in the series...whatever. He was sitting there listening to John Adams and Benjamen Franklin read over his draft for the constitution and Tommy J. was all cocky and layed back and like "Each word was a chosen precise decision" and I was like "Damn right Tommy J. stand up for your work!" and I think it was his arrogance mixed with his purple-ish pink satin shirt that made him look like the Colonial times Prince(the singer not the son of a king) is what really did me in....Whew! Cold shower time!
I mean check him out!
Stud right?
I think I'll suggest a Purple-ish pink satin Colonial times shirt for Pete, or maybe I could just settle for the wig. We'll see.

Historical movies are always SO much better than reading them from a text book. Turning the lights off in the classroom, watching movies.... nothing better.
Because, you're right, my friends and I would have been playing MASH or passing all sorts of other notes.
