    Frankly, I find this entertaining and, i think, worth the money. Ken Burns is one of the best documentary filmmakers. The information presented is in a fun form. He goes deeply into the hypocrisy of the time. I am only up to the second video, and I would love to see the third. The jazz style music is also good. In short, these are great videos about a time in the history of America that needed to be explored. I watched both videos about two times each so far.
  • Why the Hell sooo Expensive??

    Ridiculously expensive. I like to support good quality content with my hard-earned money, , but with these exorbitant prices I may have to go find the files for FREE elsewhere--and the download probably won't take as long.

    Why is the standard definition the same price as the high definition? For all TV Shows on iTunes, the SD formats are priced cheaper than the HD format. Except for 'Prohibition'. Why?
  • Best documentary ever!

    I sure hope that our Representatives and Senators in Congress are paying attention to this this. Truly history does repeat itself. Attitudes can not be legislated. It's hard to govern such a large country, and Burns shows the foibles and successes of the Prohibition period. I was shocked at the comparisons to what is going on today. This show is a must see!

    This is yet another great work from Ken Burns. The depth of the knowledge gained from his research is astounding. I am a fan for life. Congratulations, Mr. Burns, on yet another triumph. Rodney
