This movie has received better publicity than any amount of money could buy. People who would have never even considered watching will be tuning in - I know I will. Its gonna get boffo ratings. And I have a feeling that the overwhelming majority won't see anything wrong with it. No doubt the makers are already editing out anything they feel goes a little too far. I can imagine them though laughing with glee behind the scenes at all the headlines this has caused - that's good news for them. I agree, from what I've read this does seem like it will be a slanted, melodramatic account in the vein of 'Mommie Dearest'. And if it is, I can understand people taking offense considering Reagans health and what Nancy is currently dealing with. For most sheeple though I think it will seem like making a mountain out of a molehill. For me, its just another example of the left-wings divorce from reality. But I'm sure that in no time this campy film will be forgotten. It will have no impact on the legacy of Pres Reagan.

But when this move goes to european uneducated masses, they will eat up the unedited version with gusto. This is not for the US market, this series is for the "I hate america" rest of the world. Some democrat will probably slip it in Iraqi TV and Armed forces TV.

Good post and I agree with most of it.

You're right, the ratings will be good but CBS will suffer for this in the long run.
