Reelz Pumping Kennedy Series — The star-studded, purportedly no-holds-barred mini-series about the Kennedy family discarded by The History Channel is being heavily pumped by ReelzChannel, the independent, family-owned networked that snapped it up.
The History Channel produced the eight-part series developed by Joel Surnow and Stephen Kronish at a cost described as “multi-million” but dropped it after a pressure campaign from family and friends of the clan.
Surnow is the producer of 24.
The Kennedys starts April 3 and stars Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes.
Reelz is on Channel 233 on Verizon’s lineup in Delaware County, Pa.
I’m going to watch.
A star-studded cast? Who plays Marilyn Monroe? Who plays Mary Jo Kopecne? Who plays the waitress starring in the waitress sandwich?
Ah! Can’t wait.
I think I’ll have Bill’;s beef liver for supper that night.
