Well, not really. The honchos (Spielberg, Hanks, etc.) are doing a follow-up about the Pacific campaign, called, you guessed it, The Pacific. Link below. I don't know about you guys, but I'm A. Hoping it's not gonna be a "ME WANT MONEH" sequel, and B. Hoping it's gonna rock. Thoughts? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacific_%28TV_series%29 |

I have that DVD Box set, and will go on a marathon watching spree about twice a year. It's excellent.
I hope the follow up for the Pacific front doesn't fail. It would be hard to produce as cohesive as a story there (?)
A good book on the Pacific front during WWII: "Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener

I agree, they served there country people need to know what it was like to be there,
I actually had a dream about a week ago that i saw a commercial for this and i told my dad and he then pulled it out of his backpack that he tackes to work and said "yeah, i know, i got it"
