Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Specials, Cable, Gossip, Ratings,
The little-known Reelz Channel was only too happy to relieve The History Channel of their miniseries burden, and the decision is paying off. The Kennedys was watched by a record-setting audience on Sunday night, putting the small cable channel on the map.
An average of 1.9 million watched the “cursed” miniseries, a re-telling of the Kennedy family history that The History Channel was too afraid to air -- despite doing all the work on the project.

The Kenendys stars Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Barry Pepper and Tom Wilkinson.
