My opinion of it hasn't improved

If anything, its fallen lower. It had some moving segments, but that's also its failing. Unlike "The Civil War" which was an entirely powerful experience, "The War" provides a few occasional powerful moments in hours of sentimentality and lifeless narration. I just wish I could remember them. After a week, the Grinning Old Woman from Mobile is my biggest recollection, and that doesn't say much for a series on WWII.
I've also realized that Burns and his music directors really missed a unique opportunity to put the familiar ballads of the era in their true context of wartime dread and heartbreakingly long separations. Instead, they went for the cliche of 40s jazz, not helped by that too-repetitive, appalling instrumental moaning that so many found a major distraction. Burns spent so much time on the talk show circuit pumping the series because he knew it needed pumping.

Don't taze me Bro!!
