Rating: Summary: And Time Stood Still....... Review: What a ridicules review: "Who were the U.S. presidents? What did they accomplish? What qualities defined them, both as public figures and private men? In this made-for-PBS documentary series, brilliantly adapted from the acclaimed book The American President, these questions and others related to the presidents are answered with rare insight and intimacy". Imagine offering something as a complete history of the Presidency. Does time stand still just because this DVD has been released? I much prefer an individual approach, representing only one President at a time. Not only does this enable a "series" to be updated in a consistent manner, but much more information can be included on each President, creating a much clearer picture of his success/failure while in office. This DVD offers nothing but "Political Fluff". The approach this DVD takes is the equivalent of me claiming to have written the definitive history of the personal computer, ending that history in the year 2000.
