Peyton's Places is a perfect combination of humor and history. Its the story of the NFL from its birth highlighting interesting facts like how a ship sinking affected coaching or how messages were sent to the field from observers in the stands. Peyton Manning has another talent - teacher. If you can't learn and enjoy from this show, you might be unteachable.

I still watch the re-runs and am amazed at what was considered 'okay' in those days. For example, all women appearing on the panel for the first time had to kiss Gene. It wouldn't happen nowadays.
