QUESTIONS
I have learned a great deal about late nineteenth century American history by delving further into that time period as a result of watching Alias Smith and Jones. The historical facts and features present in so many episodes, although problematic in some aspects, piqued my interest and have afforded me many hours of enjoyable research surfing the web for additional information. It is one of the reasons I enjoy the show so much. Of course, another reason is because the acting is wonderful! In fact, I admire the craft that went into producing the entire show. After watching each episode numerous times, I now find myself appreciating the little details as much as the actors and the plots.
