 forgotten classic January 20, 2004
Stanley Profitt (New Rochelle, NY USA)

This mini-series is a great powerful story, with a fantastic cast which as far as I am concered, ranks up their with Rich Man, poor man , Roots and the Thorn Birds. They just don't make them like this anymore.
Still one of the best mini series October 18, 2002

I also have been hoping for years that this series would play on TV again but alas no. When I saw this on tape I bought it and this is still one of the best mini series even after more than 20 years the whole cast is great but Richard Jordan makes this one shine.
 American Political Epic December 2, 2000

This great american fiction by Taylor Caldwell chronicles the ficticious Joseph Armah's rise to financial and political power in the late 19th century.The story draws liberally from real life stories of Joseph Kennedy and J.D. Rockerfeller. Gripping with political intrigue and love interests. Anyone with an interest in the inner workings of business in the dawning stages of the industrial age, and backroom politics will find this miniseries a must see.

This miniseries was the first I had ever seen and remains my favorite after all these years. An avid fan of "The Thornbirds" and the many PBS series, I had almost given up hope that I would ever be able to see this epic masterpiece again. Patty Duke, Jane Seymour, Henry Fonda and the magnificent Richard Jordan as Joseph Armaugh make this a rare treat. Sadly, Richard Jordan died of a brain tumor in 1993 at the age of 55 while filming the movie "The Fugitive".
The Captains and The Kings April 3, 2001

I first saw this mini-series when I was 11. Even though it was a little adult for me at the time, I knew it was one of my favorites. Richard Jordan, Perry King and Blair Brown became some of my favorite actors because of this mini-series. In my opinion, it rates with Rich Man Poor Man and North and South, parts 1 and 2. They don't make mini-series like The Captains and the Kings anymore and I highly recommend it. I am so glad I bought it and watched it after 20+ years.
