Facinating series on the History Channel today, The Presidents

Everybody remembers Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, etc, but how many people remember presidents like Taylor, Fillmore or Pierce?

I don't have cable, so I gotta ask - did they cover James Polk? IMO, one of our most important - and least well-known - presidents.

They covered every US President from Washington to GW Bush, even William Henry Harrison (who was president for only one month). They actually had a fairly lengthy segment on Polk.
