I have been looking for this series ever since it was shown on PBS. I found that it has even more appeal now. This is a very good look at our country's beginnings. Every citizen should review this series.

Great characters of history come across as very human. This helps us understand the motivations and determination that drove one of our most influential founding father & the personal costs that his public life caused.The Adams Chronicles
 Not what I expected May 25, 2008

Not too bad when it comes to history and learning about the Adams Family through the years, but it lacks production value and character development. This series is like watching a historical documentary that was written and produced to be an adapted English Romance novel. The first few episodes are marginal and the series goes down hill shortly after. The makers of this series also need a lesson in lighting. Awkward shadows mixed with ultra bright faces takes the viewer our of the 1800s and into a low budget 1970s studio. I would not recommend this to anyone other than a die hard John Adams historian.

I'd heard much about this 1976 series and purchased it because of the glowing reviews on Amazon.com. In fact, it isn't very good. The TV budget was obviously minimal, and the acting is soap opera quality (everyone seems to shout, as if on stage, and at times you can almost read the script). As for the history, well, a great deal is left out, and one can imagine most people being quite confused. The makeup is the outstanding feature of the series (although the line of the lead's bald spot is sometimes visible), which says too much about this lengthy series. It's wiser to invest the time in McColloch's biography.
