What happens when you want a mini series to keep going?

This weekend I started watching the mini series 'The Kennedy's'. I have no idea what channel it was on originally, I'm watching it on DVD. I sat down and thought 'oh, I have some time, I'll just watch one episode'. 2 1/2 hours later I pried myself away from the TV to do something else. I did the same thing last night with disc 2.
I am seriously enjoying this show. It's a little bit like 'The West Wing' but, you know, based in actual events. I'm sure that some of it is made up or embellished or based on speculation but that's ok. I don't even mind that it's Katie Holmes playing Jackie. She's not that bad. The only bad part about it is that it's a mini series and not a go-on-for-ten-seasons-series.
The show has also made me wish I could go back to school and actually pay attention in history classes. I used to find them incredibly boring and pointless. Now, I find all of the things I was supposed to be learning about incredibly fascinating.
To sum up: go watch The Kennedy's.
