Bill,

You would probably by very interested by some of the first 'parvan'/chapter (the Adi parvan) which has a great number of stories about Nagas and snake kings, etc.

When I was living in Nepal I used to watch a local TV program which aired a TV version of the Mahabharata once a week as I recall. It was a little hokey but told the basic stories. There might be a video set available. I've never searched for it, though.

Yes, I've actually been watching bits of it recently. It's quite of mix, some well-done parts, some strangely-done part, and some, as you say, rather hokey.

The real plus, I thought, was getting the basic stories without straining your eyes on the small print.
