The National Parks: America's Best Idea
PBS
The National Parks: America's Best Idea is a six-episode series directed by Ken Burns and written and co-produced by Dayton Duncan.
Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales – from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska - The National Parks: America's Best Idea is nonetheless a story of people: people from every conceivable background – rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

I would love to win this! I missed the series when it was on and heard it was breathtaking. Another Ken Burns masterpiece!
Forgot to say I would like Blu-ray :)
Cool. I'd like the DVD copy if I win.
National Parks was time well spent-- would love to win the DVD!
Caught the first episode on PBS. The scences were breathtaking! Would love to win DVD. Pick me---please!
What a Treasure to have! I want it for my Grandkids!
I'm bound to get lucky one of these times.... DVD would be great
Watching this on a big screen would be worth the price of the TV - and more so, especially with Blu-ray. Even on my junky TV the cinematography was OUTSTANDING! The story was facinating as well. I would love to have the Blu-ray - Mr Burns should go down in history as the century's finest film maker.
DVD would be wonderful, blu ray if there are no DVD's left.
Thanks!
In my opinion this documentary dwarfs all others in the category. The views of some of our nations most beautiful parks is absolutely breathtaking. I love the idea of being able to watch it over and over again with my family in Blu-Ray. We will hopefully be able to gaze upon the majestic parks in quality looking like we were actually there.
I was fortunate enough to catch some of this documentary and absolutely loved it. Beyond finding it extremely fascinating it brought back for me the great and very dear memories of U.S. travel with my Dad in the early and mid 70's. It has awoken my interest in this great country we live in, thank you Mr. Burns. I hope to win the DVD so I may share with my children.
I'd love to win this.
Neat, DVD please
I am planning a trip to visit several national parks because of this series. A copy of this programming would be something to show my niece and her class
I only have figures on one hand crossed because both would be bad luck. Please, please, please.
We all need a glimpse into what America truly could be and was at one time. (DVD)
I watched the series when it aired and absolutely loved it. It is worth every minute of anyone's time to see it. Another great work by Ken Burns.
I'd love to win a Blu-ray copy! Thanks for the contest.
I would greatly appreciate a copy of this wonderful series!
I missed the series and would love to have a copy!
This looks great, I definitely would like a copy
Oops, Um, I would like a DVD copy.
This was a pretty amazing documentary. I learned a lot.
I never made the switch to digital and to be honest the thing I'm MOST bummed out about is missing out on the great PBS shows, especially all the nature related specials. A big thanks to popsci/pbs for the chance to own a copy of this! I'd like the DVD version if I win (I'd also take a blu ray copy of there are no DVDs left since I plan on switching sometime soon)!
Didn't get to see this, but heard it was FANTASTIC (of course, anything Ken Burns does is great!) Would love to have this on DVD. My family as well as my husband's family are PBS fans - this would be great to use for the upcoming holidays. Thanks!
Thought the show was great. Hope to win so i can teach my children about our parks.
I would take eather. I don't have bluray but would buy it.
No! Pick me! Pick me! I have a blueray! I am also an avid fan of our national park system. I especially like the Rocky Mountain National Park!
I forgot to say DVD!
hmmm.... Amazing series and very educational on one of the best things of our nation that is overlooked so often!
When will we see a list of winners?
Any winners yet??
