- 'The Kennedys' Miniseries Omits Moon Race, Tax CutsWith the conclusion of "The Kennedys" miniseries, which ran on the hitherto obscure Reelz Channel, the time to nitpick has arrived. Specifically, it is time to wonder about the stuff that was left out of the eight-hour show.
- 'The Kennedys' Concludes with Marilyn Monroe, Expected TragediesThe final two hours of "The Kennedys," the mini-series showing on Reelz Channel, was a study in the inevitability of tragedy.

- 'The Kennedys' Episode 6: The Cuban Missile Crisis and Mary MeyerEpisode 6 of "The Kennedys" covers more of President Kennedy's philandering and Jackie's discontent with it and the Cuban Missile Crisis. It is so far the weakest episode of the miniseries.

Edgar Hoover, and Judith CampbellEpisode 3 of "The Kennedys" miniseries focused on the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Bobby Kennedy bumping heads with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, and Jack Kennedy's somewhat indiscreet and dangerous liaisons with Judith Campbell.
- The Kennedys Miniseries Finally Shows Off ControversyFor all of the controversy and political sniping over "The Kennedys" miniseries, it had a relatively small premiere last night on the Reelz Channel. Whether that was due to politics or not, those who have the channel could finally see it for themselves.
- 'The Kennedys' Miniseries Not as Controversial as AdvertisedThe first two episodes of "The Kennedys," the controversial miniseries, aired Sunday night. One comes away wondering what the fuss was about. True, members of the iconic family are not depicted as walking on water, but they are not monsters either.
