The Kennedys (Miniseries) Conclusion Sun. 8pm ET
Digital News Report ^ | 4/9/11 | Jael Kirk

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.

JFK’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr (Tom Wilkinson), played an important role in getting his son the Presidency.

It was supposed to be on the History Channel, but the Kennedys killed it.

Despite how the Libs tried to prevent it from being shown, watch it. ‘The Kennedys’ turns out to be a solidly entertaining portrait.

Exactly...

I’m watching the final two episodes now.

Amazing performance by Kinnear, Pepper and Holmes - there were times in black and white shots I had to take a second look to see if it was him or John Kennedy.

When the camera catches Kinnear in a certain light, the resemblance is spooky.

HBO’s “Rat Pack” from 1998 with Ray Liotta as Sinatra was fantastic...Same dirt about JFK, brother and father....Highly recommend it.....It’s on Youtube also....

Too bad Kinnear won’t get an award. He’s just like JFK...

Why do you call it a worship service? The Kennedy family did everything in their power to keep this off the air. We’re seeing the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It deserves some Emmys, but you're right. Hollywood hates this series.
