A Snarky Summary of "The Reagans" Script


Come on, admit it. There was a part of you that was hoping CBS would air "The Reagans." You were wondering what the fuss was about even if you didn't want to sit through a four hour hit job on a dying icon.

Well, I have a solution. I've begun the process of summarizing the entire 213 pages of the script so that you could skip the dull stuff and get straight to the juicy details. (Sort of like a blogger's version of TiVo.) You can find, for example, all the hightlights of the first two hours in about ten minutes.

In the spirit of Venomous Kate's Hunting the Snark, I've decided to make the summation of the script as snarky as possible.

(Note: Acts 1-7 cover the first night. If there is any interest I'll finish the second two hours (107 pages worth).)

The Setup -- (Pgs. 1-5) Act 1 -- The Early Years (Pgs. 6-26) Act 2 -- The Early Years (Pgs. 27-39) Act 3 -- The Early Years (Pgs. 39-49) Act 4 -- The Early Years (Pgs. 50-61) Act 5 -- The Early Years (Pgs. 62-77) Act 6 -- The Middle Years (Pgs. 78-90) Act 7 -- Pre-Presidency (Pgs. 91-106)

Yeah, I was hoping to see the show, but I guess it's sweeter knowing CBS backed down. Is there a trend here? The L.A. Times suffers a backlash because of their hit piece on Cali's new Governor, now CBS gets hammered. Is the liberal media learning to tread more lightly?
