In spite of the tremendous publicity due to its controversial content the Showtime premiere of “The Reagans” was a ratings dud. Less than a million households tuned in to what critics charged was a cheap hatchet job on the former first couple. The airing had so few viewers that it failed to place in the top forty programs. Though originally scheduled for broadcast on CBS, public pressure forced the network to release the two part movie through its sister cable network Showtime. The miniseries will air twice more next week afyter which it is expected to quietly sink into obscurity.
