"Did you get a chance to watch the Chandler thing on PBS?"

Missed it, my friend.
Darnnit!
How was it *billed*? A "Frontline"? "American Experience"? ...and when did it supposedly air?

"I haven’t watched it yet, but I have it on my DVR."

Could it be the program ran on your local PBS, not nationally? Just asking because I actually read program lineups every day. Not saying I couldn't have missed it, just saying it'd have caught my eye, so, somewhat unlikely.

"I just finished the Otis Chandler bio a week or so ago...The Chandler family was as involved as anyone in building Greater LA in the early 20th century."

Oh I remember your interest in the Chandler family, knew you'd been pursuing their bio visa vi a book.

Chandler's ran an empire, that much I know.
Not unlike Hearst, Col. McCormick and Sultzburger families to name a few. "King Makers" all, in the day.

Please, I'd really enjoy hearing your take, overall impression(s) on this film after you've viewed it OK?

I'm specifically looking for your gut level; insofar, as where the producers may have wandered afield of fact(s), spin etc as well as what they graced us by getting it right.

That kind of information tells the biggest story for me. Reveals the real direction, if any, they'd like to lead the audience. TIA, my friend. ;^)
