Sean's Holiday TV Tip - Mankind

DISCLAIMER:

I don't need to tell you to watch Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer or any Andy Williams specials.

Merry Christmas! sp

Mankind - the Story of All of Us is a top shelf series for your holiday, or whenever you can, must watch list. Perfect for kids young and old when they might gather 'round the warm glow of a flat screen over these holidays following a home cooked meal. Any episode is a standalone masterpiece, but worth noting was a freakishly incredible growth spurt for Mankind once Ben Franklin flew a kite during a lightning storm in the 1700's. All that and more alone is worth catching up on in less than the time it takes to miss a couple quarters of football. Then there was a cholera outbreak, the internet and a bunch of other important stuff in the 300 years since.

My Takeaway = Highly Recommended: Watch Now or Record

If If you like snacking on self-cooked humble pie while you learn, the expertly produced Mankind makes bitching about paying for peanuts on an airplane during a few hour flight across the USA seem prettty damn whiny.
