Just finished watching the first 4 episodes of the Bronx is Burning... It's pretty interesting - and I like how they mix the Yankees stuff with the other stuff going on in the city at the time... They have some great old footage in it too..
I was 10 years old in 1977 and that summer was one of the big summers of my life... It was the summer Star Wars came out, and that movie changed my perspective on life forever... And the blackout was pretty memorable too..
The Yankees stuff was interesting, but as you know i came from a Mets family, so while I knew every player on the Yankees that year thanks to my baseball cards, it didn't really influence me too much... I do remember that this is probably the year that i started hating Steinbrenner with all the negative press he got... I'm glad to see that he deserved most of it..
If you get a chance, check out this mini-series - My wife thought it would be just about baseball, but it really isn't... Its about NYC and how that summer was really memorable in NY. And its also about three people with huge egos who need each other and how they interact. My wife and I are hooked and will prob see the last 4 episodes soon....
And while Steinbrenner, Martin & Reggie are the big 3 of this movie - the rest of the cast is awesome... The actors who play Thurmond Munson and Yogi Berra are great...
