May 25: KC In a Family Feud (No, Not the Game Show)

Kevin Costner will be part of "The Hatfields & the McCoys," a miniseries about the infamous family rivalry that will be filmed for the History Channel.

Let's hope this one goes better than the History Channel's first try at a miniseries - the hatchet job on the Kennedys that the network ultimately did not run when serious accuracy and bias questions were asked.

It's not the most encouraging news that the producer is Leslie Greif, whose only scripted success was the television series "Walker, Texas Ranger," which starred Chuck Norris.

But more encouraging is the news that Ted Mann, who worked behind the scenes on such programs as "NYPD Blue" and "Deadwood," wrote the script for this one.

I must admit, I would have been much happier to see KC work on that other miniseries, "A Little War of Our Own," that he initially had planned for HBO. But we'll see how this goes.
