Not As Good As Stanley Karnow's "Vietnam - A Television History"
2 of 2 found this helpful Thought I was the only person alive who wondered why the Burn's documentary was even made. I too saw the original Stanley Karnow series - Vietnam: A Television History, and luckily recorded it (on VHS of course; that was 'the thing' in 1983). Watched it again recently (my understanding is that PBS released an 'edited' version on DVD which was not up to the original broadcast series); I watched the original programs, and couldn't help but wonder. It seemed so much more thorough than Burn's series, and I really couldn't see any reason at all for Burn's series except putting something "epic" out there with his name on it (for mass consumption?). It didn't even take a significantly different approach from Karnow's series. I was fully expecting a different line (since the original series, if I remember rightly, came under some criticism for being anti-American) but it seemed just a poor man's version of the original. I guess, since the original unedited Karnow documentary isn't commercially available, and Burns' "cachet" will introduce the topic to a wider audience, then it must be "all good." A shame for purists though. JMHO.
