Question for People born in 1980 or after - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

How many of you will watch the JFK programs on the History Channel and other networks discussing the 40th anniversary of the JFK assasination? I only asked because most people I know who was born after 1980 said they have no interest in watching.

I was born in 1985 and I would watch because I find history fascinating.

I don't think I'll watch. It's not out of disrespect to him, It's just that Iv'e seen countless documentaries on his life, and death, and I doubt there will be any new revelations made in this biography that I haven't already heard about before. If I want to learn more about him, I'll probably just go to the library, and get a book about his life. You can learn alot more about someone from a book then you can from a one, or two hour documentary.

That's very true. I prefer books over TV documentaries, IMO, for the same reason you mentioned.

I will... MSNBC has one on Monday Night at 9pm ET where they will be interviewing prominent Americans today(Jay Leno, John McCain, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and others). I was born in 1988 and my dad was only 10 months old when Kennedy shot. I will defintely watch, I like documentaries made about Presidents... There will a bunch of others on other networks as well.

I would watch.

-*Leah*- · 11-15-2003, 11:42 AM

Yes, I would, because I find the whole "Kennedy" family very interesting. I have did a couple of reports on JFK and he was a very interesting man.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 11-15-2003, 11:43 AM

I would watch it if I had the History Channel...

I think it may be a little different this year because it's the 40th anniversry. I don't think there will be lots of programs about it next year around this time. The last time i remember seeing a lot of programs about it was 1993 which was the 30th anniversary

I'll watch if i have the history channel. this time last year i went to the museum and the place where he was shot at in dallas.

EricIdlefan · 11-15-2003, 03:10 PM

MandieR1980 · 11-15-2003, 06:19 PM

pandora_spocks · 11-15-2003, 06:24 PM

Titania · 11-15-2003, 06:34 PM

I'm going to be out but you can bet I'm taping it. I'm a bit of a history freak and have read a lot about JFK and the supposed "magic bullet" theory.
