Okay, I got sick of editing, so this might have a few flaws I was too tired/lazy/impatient to catch.

In light of my AP U.S. History exam, here is my first John Adams video (though you can probably tell I think the miniseries would have been better named for someone else!) I decided to do a more... "realistic" adaptation of the song from the 1972 movie-musical 1776 called "The Egg" in which Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson debate the national bird.

John Adams Paul Giamatti (J.A.); William Daniels (1776)
Benjamin Franklin Tom Wilkinson (J.A.); Howard Da Silva (1776)
Thomas Jefferson Stephen Dillane (J.A.); Ken Howard (1776)

I think Stephen Dillane's TJ is absolutely adorable. And Wilkinson as Franklin is just...creepy.

All film is copyright to HBO; the music also doesn't belong to me. Clips are /very/ gratefully taken from http://fandommania.webs.com . No copyright infringement intended. Enjoy!

  • If you don't want people's opinions, don't post on this site. I could produce a video with the 1776 cast speaking the lines of the John Adams cast, but what would be the point? Remember, this is just my opinion. Grow up and move on.

  • @ribbie149 No, I wasn't saying you were unable to express your opinion. I asked why you commented simply to ask a pointless question. The exercise was, as I pointed out, to have some fun - obviously others enjoyed watching it. You're the one who needs to grow up rather than pointing out the obvious like "John Adams was not a musical."

  • What is the point of this? "1776" had tremendous performances. "John Adams" was a wonderful series, but NOT a musical. This is a pointless exercise.

  • @ribbie149 Everyone knows John Adams wasn't a musical. The point was to have a little fun. Why did you watch it if you just want to criticize?

  • You are brilliant!

  • @krharlan Thank you! =) That's sweet.
