By Jason Apuzzo. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joel Surnow’s The Kennedys miniseries has finally found a home – at the ReelzChannel, where the show will premiere April 3rd.
This is good news, I suppose, but quite a come-down from what the initial ambitions for this series were. In the status-conscious world of Hollywood, this amounts to a body-slamming of everyone involved in the project – sort of like the LA Dodgers moving back to Brooklyn.
In any case, I suppose I will now have to actually find the ReelzChannel.

You know what scares me? That any family in the United States is powerful enough to single handedly change the programming of a multinational media company. Particularly when that family is now completely “out of power”. Who says the US doesn’t have an aristocracy or a class system?
When you set up your government to be so centralized that only a few hands can pull the strings of power, you’ve gone way too far.
Agreed.
