Summary: Please get this on DVD!!!
Review: I remember watching North and South when it was originally aired...I was 13 years old and when it was over I read the book. I couldnt wait for book 2, Love & War to air. I was a little disappointed with the 3rd mini-series...but the first 2 were so fantastic I forgive them for the failed attempt at greatness.
I have been wanting to add this to my collection for several years now, but do not want to waste the money on a VHS that will deteriorate over time. I cant wait until I can purchase on DVD!!! This along with Lonesome Dove, are my 2 favorite miniseries of all time and LD is available on DVD, so I have high hopes N&S will be soon.

Summary: Incredible mini-series! Release it on DVD!
Review: I was literally six and seven years old when both North and South mini-series debuted on ABC, and I remember watching every episode. Even at that young age I knew this was an epic mini-series, and I was enthralled by every single minute of it. Luckily my parents didn't mind me watching. Years later I saw them available at a video store and I rented every single one of them twice, and I fell in love with it again. This HAS to be released on DVD. The cast, the story, the production value are ALL first class. Civil war fans will love this.

Summary: History comes to life
Review: I was very young when the series played on TV but I still remember how I adored watching the developement of the story week after week. It is, without competition, the best movie I have seen about this period. I find It was similar, in a way, to Gone With The Wind but with more explanation of the state of mind of the people who lived and died during this period... It helped me to have a better understanding of this conflict. I also liked the Book 2 but there are much much more war in this one, but still a great story around all the war secences...

Summary: North and South should be on DVD
Review: I was very young when this mini series hit television in 1985 and 1986 (the latest one in 1994) but I remember it so vividly. Everytime it's on television now (Hallmark Channel) I get swept away with it. This series needs to be put on DVD. The only other HUGE mini series I can think of is "Roots" and it is available on DVD and I hope this one will get to be too and soon. It's got a 20 year anniversary coming up in 2005 so that would be an ideal time to release all three books onto DVD.

Summary: North & South Mini Series
Review: I watched and taped all of North and South I,II and Heaven and
Hell. The only problem is VHS quality is not as good as DVD and
hoping all 3 North and Souths will be available soon in DVD
Format. Patrick Swayze, James Read, and the rest of the cast
were great. Lot of action, some love, and if you liked
the blue and the Gray, this is better in some ways. This also
has brothers and Friends against each other, and how they
risk their lives to save their Friends.

Summary: A true learning tool
Review: I watched this air for the first time as an 8 year old and when my son was 3 I allowed him to watch it for the first time. He is truelly against learning in any way as most boys are. Even with that in mind he can tell you all the battles fields, all the generals, and even the dates of the begining and end of the war. Also he will spirt out the time, place, date and murderer of Lincoln. He only wants to read books about the war and insists on watching both editions of my collection atleast once a month. He is eight now, and we both agree that this should be on dvd, due to the fact the tapes are just not holding up to over use, and that our countries history is so well told in these movies. I want to be able to share them with as many generations as possible. Please put them to DVD!!!!!

Summary: Marvelous Miniseries
Review: I watched this miniseries about 17 years ago and I still talk about it with my family and friends. We have been looking for it for the past few years. I will buy it on DVD, not VHS because it is so long. Although I was only 9 when it was on TV, I begged my mom to let me stay up to watch it. This movie inspired me to learn about the Civil War and history in general. I enjoyed North and South Book 2 as much as I did the first one. I was very upset about the third one they attempted. It didn't have Patrick Swayze in it and had a weak, almost soap opera, plot. I recommend this to anyone interested in a good star filled, wonderfully written and acted movie.

Summary: North and South the mini-series
Review: Imagine yourself in either position, a Northerner or a Southerner back in the mid 1800's. This movie demonstrates a possible scenario of such a life between families during this time. The emotions are real, the lifestyles are real, the people, although fictonal, add flare to a possible scenario for a time in history that was very real and emotional. Romance is the theme of this story in Civil war times between several individuals who had to deal with a country rebelling against itself. Their lives reflected much about what the country was going through. The cast is an excellent cast and the acting is wonderfully done by known actors and actesses.

Summary: North and South Trilogy
Review: It just amazes me what a great writer John Jakes is. He is so talented that when you read his books or see the movies, he makes you feel like you are there and you can easily get lost in the story. The actors in the movie are excellently cast: Patrick Swayze, Kirtstie Alley, Johnathan Frankes as well as others. I loved North and South Book I and Book II. I can't wait till Book III comes out on VHS or DVD. I have both on VHS. The books are awesome so all that is left is the movie Book III. It has been on TBS a few years ago so let's bring it out to the public!
