"Did you know the great Niagara Falls is in New York?" On the scale of interesting trivia about New York, this has to rank in the lower 1 percentile, and it's not entirely correct to boot, since Niagara Falls is actually stretched over the U.S.-Canada border. The other information I learned from the segment on New York from "The North Eastern States" volume, the second in a series of five covering all 50 states, was pretty much what I would have garnered by cracking open any almanac. Viewers will be told when each state entered the union, various state facts (motto, flower, bird, nickname, and so on) and--weirdly--see a fairly detailed architectural assessment of each state capitol building. Unfortunately, the images are often static, the maps rinky-dinky looking, and the narration is punctuated by awkward hesitations, repetition and decidedly rhythmless delivery. Not recommended.
