    Excellent -especially for homeschoolers or anyone with curiosity & an attention span

    I would recommend this series for anyone above the age of 7 or who is curious about history, science, or is simply still in a stage of learning (hopefully that's everyone of all ages). It's calm and easy to understand. Fascinating. I would say it goes a little faster than the pace of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood

  • Top critical review

    Its ok...

    My child likes some of the DVDs but I think they all look the same to him and he’s not really interested...I feel that if they were of a different variety.. And then it’s kinda confusing because they use lower case letter in some and an L looks like an I etc..They would have the word “on” looking like a pig, the word combinations are way off...

  • A timeless series of technology and industry and the modern world.

    While the series may be a little dated, Connections remains relevant to today's fast paced world. James Burke sets up the questions he will pose and explains why along the way. The final episode should be required for every undergraduate today. The synthesis of material and depth of research combine with his humor and ability to connect with everyday folks and explain the technological world around us. In a word, engagement. Burke allows the common man to not only interact with his ever changing world but also to begin to examine the components of that world and no longer play the role of spectator- the viewer becomes a type of referee regarding new technology, industry, and the impact those human endeavors bring to people everywhere. This series is not to be missed.

  • Like renewing an old friendship

    I watched this series on PBS in 1979 and was so fond of it that I recorded the reruns a year later. Those VHS tapes faded years ago, and it has been a real pleasure to revisit the episodes on my new permanent DVDs. James Burke is a remarkable story-teller, presenting in each episode a sequence of unrelated historical events that somehow merged into a surprising conclusion.

  • A great and thoughtful series

    Very well done, conceptually, though clearly dated. A very intelligent look at the circuitous route ideas and inventions take us. History has never been a straight line. I'd donate this to local schools if I thought they would show it.
