4.0 out of 5 stars Great to watch but still waiting for it on DVD, November 27, 2011

This review is from: Watergate (The Discovery Channel) (VHS Tape)

The Discovery Channel aired "Watergate" during the late 80's and early 90's, but it hasn't been broadcast in awhile. Former CBS newsman Daniel Schorr does an excellent job narrating the series as he gradually unfolds the scandal that took down the President. It contains superb film footage of Richard Nixon and the entire Watergate cast of characters. Conspirators Gordon Liddy, Charles Colson, et. al. are interviewed throughout the documentary and finally "tell all".

I patiently waited for "Watergate" to appear on DVD, but eventually gave up and bought the VHS set instead. I enjoyed it, but give it only 4 stars because the VHS edition is a wee bit grainy in quality. Another reason to keep hoping it will appear on DVD soon, as it's good enough to buy again.

This review is from: Watergate (The Discovery Channel) (VHS Tape)

I seriously believe if it weren't for Liddy's need to be a ham, Watergate probably would have passed through history as just another third rate burglary. OK, to be fair, all the players had a hand in creating this presidential and national disaster. Daniel Schorr brought together some of the players from this real life drama and let them tell their versions of what happened and why. I only wish it were available on DVD so it can be preserved longer. This VHS version is good, but it's getting harder to find a VCR player. I also wish this had been a longer story, to squeeze in more information. But, budgets being what they are, Schorr still put together a good story.
