America: The Story of Us

The History Channel provides some great, informative television (when it is not rotting viewers brains with crap about aliens making pyramids). This multi-part series goes through a basic history of the USA (if you couldn’t figure that out from the title) and it is pretty good, but I can’t stand it when such programs have random commentary from celebrities. I know it is suppose to make the documentary more accessible, yet all it does is piss me off. I really don’t care what insights an ex-football player has about American culture.
