Ben Franklin laughing at the good retort of when did you first notice they were missing always gets me

[@MG6960]

No wonder Mr. Feeny was such a good teacher. He lived the history!

[@MichaelScotto]

I believe he was Principal of John Adams High School in Philadelphia (area) on that show.

[@MG6960]

@@MichaelScotto lol oh yeah he was!

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

I loved Boy Meets World. Great show. William Daniels is a great actor

[@davidahlstrom7533]

Brilliant acting. I saw this same cast on Broadway in 1974.

[@roberthaworth8991]

Not only did Caesar Rodney conduct his famous all-night ride to break the deadlock over Independence, but in the year following this he served as Brigadier General of DE militia, recruiting troops and forwarding them to Washington in NJ. Once or twice he took the field, as during the Brandywine Campaign, although his units saw no action.

[@MichaelScotto]

Thanks for the info! He was also much younger than depicted.

[@williamjohnson1144]

The dialogue is exceptional!

[@erik_griswold]

Amazing how the KITT car was also able to found a country.

[@sgabig]

The guy who plays John Dickinson reminds me of SNL comedian Phil Hartman

[@fungiblenonsense]

This video came rather randomly in my feed. I thought it might be an SNL sketch with Phil Hartman, but the camera was moving immediately and that's not at all SNL style.

[@KW-gb9cd]

The actor was Donald Madden.

Why should i trade 1 tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants 1 mile away.

I can't help but wonder why in 2023 this was posted in pan and scam.

[@MichaelScotto]

Well, the director's cut widescreen is available for streaming for free. I have taken scenes from the original cut, edited for television, and corrected the sound. My hope is to introduce people to the musical, and also to interest people in the founding. Thanks for stopping by.

[@warblerab2955]

@@MichaelScotto I would have used the widescreen as that is how it was shown in the theaters and that how the director designed the film to be seen.

We are a People. We must stop the orange Tyrant,

[@MichaelScotto]

They're both tyrants

[@Mariojinn2]

@@MichaelScotto Neither are tyrants. Just men thrown into an unwieldy system, doing everything they can to gain support. So in that regard, there's no difference. If you were to ask which one seems more like a hedonist... then you'll find a definite answer. Only if you wish to do so. edit: I forgot one compelled people to attempt a coup d'état, which in America is tantamount to sacrilege.

[@stellakowalski1]

@@MichaelScotto Not cool or very intelligent for the poster of a KZbin video to be so openly biased. What kind of Christian are you to bad-mouth the only pro-life candidate for president out there? “Orange tyrant”? And you claim to be a Christian? Take that out of your bio. You give us all a bad name. No wonder you have no subscribers!

Yep Frankie...Like boxer says in Animal Farm "Napoleon is always right"...
