    "Biography" is one of those shows that has something (or someone) for everybody. From long-dead famous figures throughout history to those who have shaped our lives in some way in more recent times.

    With in depth discussions of historians and people who knew those to whom each episode is dedicated, there is a wealth of information to be had that never gets predictable or boring. The people featured in this show are all a part of our past or present in some way and it is a pleasure to watch the series which never goes too far and always researches each subject superbly.

    Great television.moreless

    this is one of my favorite shows. i have watched many, many episodes, but i do not think i have seen them all. you get a myriad of stories. people from history whether entertainers, heads of state, pioneers, and the ever present oddball. i cannot see any reason for this show to ever be cancelled.

    This show is often interesting. I have found myself absorbed by the life story of people I thought I found completely uninteresting. When they are profiling people I was already interested in it is even better. Bill Curtis, Harry Smith and Peter Graves (Airplaine!) trade off hosting this show that takes you through the life of people from every age of history. It is educatonal & informative. As I sit here I realize that A&E really never misses. They aren't all homeruns, but Bill Curtis and company run a very engaging network. Here's to hoping they are around for a long time.moreless

    Biography is extremely informative and versatile. This show is a great pick for everyone. It may not be something you can watch every single day, but at some point they will do an episode on someone you would like to know more about. And it's not limited as some shows of this nature are, such as E! True Hollywood Story. Biography encompasses people from all walks of life and all points in history. It covers everyone from Jesus to George W. Bush. One of my favorite aspects of the show is that I always learn something new about someone. I would definitely recommend this to everyone, but if the first time you check it out there's not an episode you want to see, check again later...there will be!moreless
