^ Aww, let us know what you think

You can't go wrong with American History. So this show does seem interesting. Not only interesting but you can also learn from it and showing that the events aren't forgotten and that there is still a big importance about it.
I'm happy that they have produced something that is possibly special. Can't wait to see it!

I haven't watched it yet, but it's on my PVR. It has JoAnna Garcia and Wilson Bethel, so it must be pretty good.

i watched it and i really liked it. i think all the wives are pretty interesting.

i kind of like the first astronaut wife with the reporter guy.

and i love odette yustman/annabelles character! she was a lot of fun and feisty.

also the blonde wife is pretty interesting, is that the actress from chuck?

none of the men really interest me yet.

I really like it so far. I'm a huge fan of anything historical (American Dreams was one of my favorite shows, as was The Wonder Years). I'm excited to get more into the characters though now that they've introduced everyone.

yes that is the actress from Chuck (Yvonne Strahovski)
i really enjoyed all the cast on the show, and i agree i liked the first wife with the reporter guy too. she should divorce her husband for cheating. i didnt care for his character at all

episode 2 was good, they seem to be focusing mainly on one wife at a time.

next week it looks like wilson's character might not make it. nooooo.

i like gus, he is a nice guy.

episode 3 was nice.

wilsons real accent is so weird sounding. I'm so used to him as wade.

this episode focused on yvonnes character, i cant wait to see the one that focuses on Trudy!
