Well, it's a multi-part series and many of the comments are on the first part.

I grew up watching Huntley Brinkley. My dad watched every night; for some reason he could not stand Walter Cronkite! The report used to close with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. I clearly remember watching NBC the whole weekend of November 22 25 1963, including watching Lee Harvey Oswald being murdered.

This has been here almost two years, so it's hard for me to believe that mine is the only comment.
