I just remember the Louisiana episode where they basically didn't cover anything above I-10. All NOLA, Baton Rouge and Acadiana.

I play them on YouTube and love them. Sometimes just turn the sound down and watch while I’m cooking.

I have them all recorded and watch almost every morning while kids get ready for school.

Watch it religiously. My fav show by far...I record it and go back and watch the shows a few times just for the cool pieces of history they weave into the show

Long time fan. I like to see how they cover historical and interesting places I’ve been.

That was probably covered in aerial Texas or Arkansas.

I love it. It's mesmerizing. Visually beautiful and intellectually stimulating.

This, and 10 minutes of it was Angola and the incarceration rate for the state being so high.

I noticed the same thing. I realize that south Louisiana is the most unique aspect about the state, but north Louisiana has plenty of interesting and beautiful sites that deserve to be talked about, as well.

Just a few off the top of my head: the cotton culture of the delta and steamboat days, the Poverty Point indian mounds, perhaps a bit on the timber and fur industries.

No one expects it to be shoulder to shoulder with NOLA/Acadiana, but to not even warrant a mention is downright offensive.

Smithsonian channel is so good. Both Aerial America and America in Color are fascinating

Usual Saturday/Sunday morning viewing.

They're great. Definitely makes me want to go out West.

Of course, Louisiana's is depressing. And, apparently, there's nothing north or Angola or west of Avery Island.

I've watched it quite a bit. I'll put it on as background noise on the weekend while doing housework.
