Subject: The Reagans

Written By: eightiesfan on 11/25/03 at 06:27 a.m.

Do you think CBS was right to cancel their tv-movie about the Reagans and move it over to Showtime?

I think they have right to not show it. But I also think they have the right to show it. (If you don't like it change the channel)
But by cancelling it, I'm sure they will make more money off of it. (via the press for switching it to Showtime, video rentals, etc)

I totally agree; let people decide for themselves whether or not to watch it.  Besides, I bet if this was a movie about the Clintons or the Kennedys nobody would be scrambling to get it yanked off the air. (No disrespect intended towards the former president and his wife or the people that admire them)

Actually, if it was as dishonest and full of lies as "The Reagans" was, I would be one of the first to scream for them to yank it.  And I *HATE* Clinton.

There are 2 reasons I was so appaled by this movie.  For one, almost everybody portrayed in it said that a LOT of the events in the movie either never happened, or did not happen in the manner portrayed.  And second, the main focus is severely mentally handicapped now, and has no way to respond on the assasination against him.

Besides, I find it hard to imagine anybody making a smear movie like that against Kennedy.  THe man is a martyr, correct in that or not, it is a fact now.  They will go over some things in his life that were unsavory ("THe Rat Pack" movie is a good example of this).  But they do not go around making up things to make him seem even worse then he was.
