A couple hours of watching the grandson of Charlie Manson grieve over his grandfather.

A few interesting tidbits over who the grandson is, his father and mother, and that is about it. The friends of Charlie are some burnt out hippies who gather at the casket and reminisce about whether he was a monster or a good guy.

Reelz TV probably thought they were getting the scoop of a lifetime, and probably a lot of people tuned in, but I bet like me, they just fast forwarded through most of it. What took 2 hours to tell could have been done in 10 minutes. The still photos of Charlie showed endlessly and the poor grandson was mostly portrayed standing around soaking in his newfound fame.

How this story could have been told any different is beyond me, poor Charlie was shown in the casket toward the end to depressing music, I bet even Charlie would have got bored had he seen it.

2 stars for a good idea to show an icon from the 60's having his funeral.

Fluff history piece that will soon be forgotten.....

A two hour program that could've been told in 20 minutes. It's sad that those who think Manson wasn't a cult leader and was wrongly convicted are the ones who are now the most brainwashed and living a life of denial.

Manson's grandson seems to be a very naïve and immature person for allowing this show to be made. He lets a group of ghoulish hangers-on be involved in the cremation and scattering of ashes. They even wipe the ashes on their faces.

Was he trying to get some fame out of this? I can't tell. To me he just ends up looking kind of pathetic, which is a good description of this entire show.

Lots of '60s pictures of Manson's family and their 'adventures' are featured, which was kind of interesting. But certainly not worth two hours of time.
