I wonder how those would age today. I'm surprised that I never see them replayed.

The wife had never seen North and South, so I picked it up on DVD and rewatched it with her a few years ago. It was a bit cheesier than I remembered, but held up pretty well. It had a great cast and a fantastic score.
For anyone interested in watching North and South, there were three installments. The first one deals with the years leading up to the Civil War, and the second is set during the Civil War. They are both excellent. The third is set after the Civil War, and is as awful as the first two were great; Swayze isn't in it, and the whole production was amateurish and lame. Don't even bother with it.
