History Channel Pulls The Kennedys

Poor Katie! A&E Television Network has pulled the plug on their new miniseries, The Kennedys , claiming the series was "not a fit" for The History Channel. The miniseries, which stars Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes as JFK and Jackie O. , was the most expensive program ever for the network and was highly-anticipated. However, it was also embroiled in controversy after it was considered inaccurate by Kennedy historians. A rep for the network said: "Upon completion of the production of The Kennedys, History has decided not to air the 8-part miniseries on the network. While the film is produced and acted with the highest quality, after viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand. We recognize historical fiction is an important medium for storytelling and commend all the hard work and passion that has gone into the making of the series, but ultimately deem this as the right programming decision for our network." The project may not be dead yet as other cable networks, such as Showtime, may still pick up the miniseries. Do U think this was the right move from The History Channel?? Or bad idea?
