WWII in HD, History's miniseries featuring digitally remastered footage from the second World War, averaged 2.4 million viewers during its five night run Nov. 15-19. That is twice the primetime average for the network.

The series also attracted an average of 840,000 adults 18-49 and 970,000 25-54.

The miniseries had been heavily hyped, with the colorized HD footage bringing a level of clarity to the war that had not been seen before on television.

• Doesn't "colorize" mean color has been added artificially to a b&w film? Most or all of this series used original color-film footage. The use of "HD" in the title, however, is quite misleading.
