The Reelz Channel has been running a marathon of “The Kennedys” and will show the conclusion on Sunday, April 10th at 8pm ET.
Media Week says the station took a risk airing the miniseries. The station is seen in 60 million homes and receives no fees from cable or satellite providers.
While the top-tier channels receive payments from the providers, Reelz is paid only by advertisers.
Stanley S. Hubbard, the head of Hubbard Broadcasting which owns Reelz, said he hasn’t seen a more “interesting” TV series in decades.
The New York Post calls the Kennedys “One of the best, most riveting, historically accurate dramas”. Meanwhile the LA Times says Barry Pepper deserves an Emmy Award.
Katie Holmes played Jacqueline Kennedy, and Greg Kinnear played John F. Kennedy.

Oh that is funny. Bobby also screwed Marylin Monroe. I wonder why they have him a pass in the whore dept?
In the show, Ethel complained to Bobby about the fact that he was the one who always had to clean up Jack’s ‘messes.’ Then it showed Bobby telling Marilyn Monroe that it was over between her and Jack. Bobby told her to stop calling Jack. Soon after that there was a radio announcement that Marily had committed suicide.
He had high praise for it, really high. This tells me something given his conservative credentials.
There's probably zillions of us out here in the vast wasteland who can't get the series on our TVs. There are some fine hands of evil control somewhere in the land who obviously have the political/financial power to control mainstream TV output for their own ideological purposes whenever they feel it's necessary to pounce.
The result of this hidden power is that comparatively few of our populace will actually be able to see and ponder some evident truths about the sainted Kennedy icons.
Will O'Reilly devote any of his "talking points" to this censorship from the Left? After all, he's "always looking out for the folks", isn't he?
