I've always loved this episode. However, I disagree with the person who stated on their review that Victor French should have been a regular on this show rather than on Little House on the Prairie. He was such a fabulous & beloved character on Little House & i can't imagine anyone playing that role better! His looks were perfect for the unkept rough, but soft hearted character. And I loved the friendship chemistry he & Michael Landon had. The special relationship he had with Laura was so endearing. Ned Beatty did a wonderful job playing the character of the blacksmith in an earlier episode. Not sure why he was ever replaced, but that was rather confusing to me!

I have always been fascinated with the Kennedy family & over the years have read & seen so much about them. This series was wonderful - very entertaining & extremely well written. A lot has been said about the acting & I too was watching with a critical eye. I have to say the acting was excellent! I found myself totally engrossed in watching the story line which of course I know so well. I was captivated by how each & every actor was able to portray such a likeness to their real life character. This was indeed enhanced by the stupendous job by the make-up & costume department! Katie Holmes in particular had an extremely difficult role to play, but what an amazing job she did! I truly enjoyed this fabulous series!
