I had no idea anyone besides me remembered this series.....
But I got lucky --
My late mother, who was a vcr nut when she could finally afford one, back in the 80s, taped everything she was interested in -- tv series, classic movies, etc. One of the shows she insisted on taping was this one. Our local PBS station re-ran the series some time in the 1980's -- uncut! Last year, I transferred my tapes to DVD -- so I now own this fabulous series. I gave my tapes to another John Adams fan who had never seen the series.
Thanks, Mom!
