The Kennedys started last night on Reelz & so far, so good. I think Greg Kinnear was a great choice as Jack & Barry Pepper seems to be fitting into his role as Bobby pretty well also but I'm still a bit uncertain about Katie Holmes as Jackie. Not that she's bad at the role, I just find that I see a lot of Katie in the role where with the others I see the character not the actor but we are only 2 parts in so I assume it will develop more as the story unfolds, especially since the first 2 parts were much more about Jack & his life & family than his marriage to Jackie so her moments in it were short.
I know it was always so commonplace for men to cheat back then but watching a man kiss his secretary right in front of his wife & her not say a word was a little crazy to me. I'm sure having all of the perks & financial security of being a Kennedy was a major bargaining point back then, as we saw Jack's dad try to buy Jackie off for a cool Million to stay married to Jack, but even so I don't know that I would have been able to put up with the infidelity like Jack's mother & Jackie did. No amount of money is worth being made a fool of so I cannot wait until we get to the whole Marilyn saga & see just how much of a fool Jackie looks like to the American people. I was not alive at this time so everything I've heard could be askew but I will soon find out as this Kennedy's miniseries unfolds.

I do need to thank this miniseries for introducing me to the Reelz channel as well. I don't know when we received it through my cable company, I know it wasn't there when I signed up for my service 3 years ago but when I saw this miniseries coming I checked & sure enough Reelz was in my lineup (along with Reelz HD) which made me so very happy! During the commercials which I of course fast forwarded through I learned a lot about the channel & the fact that they do show a lot of programming that I like...sure, they show programs I wish had never been on ever but that's personal preference because a lot of people loved them. For example, you can tune in daily to watch shows like Cheers, Becker, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Ally McBeal, Brothers & Sisters...etc. They have original shows that discuss movies, they show movies, and their tag line is "TV about movies" & I love both TV & Movies so I added this channel to my favorites!
