History Channel airing wonderful Kennedy family home movies

[Stinky The Clown]

The films cover the time from the late 1930s to Dallas in 1963. The focus is on the good times and the family times. It is quite enjoyable . . . . except for the color commentary from the amazingly annoying Chris Matthews.

Matthews spoils the show with his self confident "insider" narration about events he knows nothing about.

I still recommend the show. No doubt it will be repeated many times. It is a worthwhile two hours.

You'll find a way to ignore Matthews and find value, I'm sure.

There is so very much more in the History Channel's presentation.

1. If you watch it -- turn the sound off -- the commentary is idiotic and slanted -- !!

2. CRAP! That was tonight!

Gah! I hate it when my days get all screwed up on a holiday week.

Oh well. I'll rifle through the listings and see if I can DVR it when they run it again, which I'm sure they'll do.


Thanks for the reminder.
