Reflections on the John Adams Show...

I just finished watching the last part of John Adams tonight. I have to say it was excellent. Once again HBO has done a great job with a non-fiction book being turned into a mini-series.

However...
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were NOT the last two signers of the Declaration of Independence to survive.

Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the four signatories from MARYLAND was the last surviving signer of the Declaration.

There are some other things that need to be fixed, but I couldn't let that pass without a rebuttal.

Despite the error, watch this mini-series. It is very very good and Paul Giamatti does a very good job as John Adams.
