Trivia
(2012) According to Nielsen Co. figures, the show set a cable viewing record as the top-rated entertainment telecast ever for ad-supported basic cable. The 3 parts pulled in 13.9 million, 13.1 million and 14.3 million viewers respectively. The previous top-rated basic cable entertainment program was TNT's Crossfire Trail (2001).

Goofs
The mountains sometimes shown in the background have jagged peaks that are found in the Rocky Mountains. The mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky have rounded peaks like the rest of the Appalachian Mountains owing to millions of years of glaciers advancing and retreating and eons of erosion. The much younger Rockies have jagged peaks because they have not yet gone through the many years of erosion.

Crazy credits
Epilogue B: "So much so that one name cannot be spoken without the other. In 2003, after 138 years, a symbolic peace treaty was signed by 60 descendants from both families. A final truce between the...The Hatfields and The McCoys."

Great production value for TV show

With its roots in the civil war in the Kentucky Virginia area, the Hatfields and McCoys feud is as epic as any in the literary world. That's why this series works so well. If Shakespeare is alive today, he would definitely write a play about them. This is iconic American history.

Two veteran big name actors anchor this series. Kevin Costner plays the leader of the Hatfields, 'Devil' Anse Hatfield. Bill Paxton plays the McCoys elder Randall. By placing such steady hands at the helm, the foundations is set solid. This History channel production is shocking because of its great production value. It sets a new bar for the standard that we must expect from now on.
