History Channel getting back to its roots - "Hatfields and McCoys"



With Costner and Paxton at the very least you're guaranteed a good laugh

I've done some bashing of the History Channel recently so I'm glad to see they're finally getting their act together and airing some decent programming.  I mean, this looks pretty sweet.  Costner, Paxton, Powers Boothe, and Tom Berenger getting all old-timey, drinking moonshine, pistol whipping people, looking grizzled, all in the name of a inter-family blood feud that seemed to stem from a dispute in ownership over a...hog.  This sounds fantastic. 

Can we take bets on how bad Costner's Southern accent is going to be?  Based on his work in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "Thirteen Days" the man has shown he's not afraid to do zero homework and just wing it when it comes to accents.  And the fact that Paxton has a lead role means we are guaranteed for some hilarious overacting.  Then you throw in Boothe and Berenger, who I'm assuming are going to be the ones to really carry this thing.



What an awesome family picture



I'm genuinely looking forward to this show.  Hopefully this is a growing trend for what direction the History Channel is going in.
