The film is set to air during next month's Sweeps. It stresses Reagan's moments of forgetfulness, his supposed opinions on AIDS and gays, his laissez-faire handling of his staff members. The scenes often carry a disapproving tone.....
The film's producers, Zadan and Meron, acknowledge their liberal politics, as do the stars of the television movie, James Brolin and Judy Davis. But Meron tells the TIMES: "This is not a vendetta, this is not revenge. It is about telling a good story in our honest sort of way. We all believe it's a story that should be told."
I do not believe in kicking a man when he is down and can't defend himself. It doesn't matter if I like him or believe in him. It's too late to powder puff this minu series. If you air it I will not ever, yes I said ever ever watch CBS shows again. It won't be hard for me. Your is the last station I watch now. Wake up and smell the coffee!
