    Just a tease ...

    The TV series was cancelled after only one season of 8 episodes. They wasted way too much time telling the back stories of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. Never got close to the "Million Dollar Quartet" gathering of those four early rock stars that was the basis for the series and would have been the big finale of the show. Instead it ends with just the "warm up" for the main event. Disappointing! Also strays from some of the facts. For example, Marion Keisker was older and not as attractive as the actress in the seires and she never had an affair with Sam Phillips. Could have been a great series if they had moved the story along much faster and got to the Million Dollar Quartet by the 8th and final episode, but instead they tried to "milk it" for 2 or 3 seasons. BIG MISTAKE!

    accent credibility

    If the show is gonna portray people from the deep South, then it should put actors in place who don't have to fake the accents. I was born and raised during this time in the Mississippi Delta, watched these guys when I was young, and was really looking forward to this show, but I am so put off by the fake Southern drawls that I am having a hard time with it.

    The movie is good. I like it. Probably It would be much better if we speak mainly about Elvis' life not Sam Philips. Elvis' life is a real story of a boy growing up in that windy time in Tennessee. But I am happy about that movie. For me that's how real life should looks. Imagine the world that way. We would live more real and happier life. And I didn't know that sky*e was existed through 50's. I wanna everybody hearing the voice of sky*e. The time is - 4th episode, 21:41m.

    Hooked on Sun Records

    My husband and I loved this show. Having grown up in the South myself during the time of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis it was especially memorable for me. Actually bought an Elvis 45 on Sun Records label in Georgia 1955. We found the background on Sam Phillips (sexiest man on TV)and his life as well as Col. Parker the most interesting part of the show. We all know how Elvis, Johnny, and the others all turned out. Who knew what a sleeze Tom Parker was, or how hard it was to get Sun Records established. Loved all the characters Couldn't wait for the next episode. The casting of these characters was brilliant to say the least. I really hope there is a next season . My family as well as many of my friends will be eagerly watching.

    Excellent Show

    My 7 year old is obsessed with Elvis and The Beach Boys and she kept talking about his show so we started watching it. This show is so good. I like that it shows Johnny Cash because I love his music as well and she gets to see other music besides just what is mainly in movies and TV shows. The acting is good and not cheesy. Makes you want to learn more about the characters.

    • Trivia
      The diner that Ike Turner steals the tip jar from in Season 1 Episode 3 is Dyer's, a legendary diner on Beale Street Famous for fried burgers. You can tell this is Dyers from the location of the bar and stove, and the red, green, and black tiling on the back wall. Dyer's is still open to the public today.
    • Crazy credits
      John Holiday who portrays Carl Perkins in Fox's "Walk the Line", is back in Cash's band as Luther Perkins in "Sun Records". Played live guitar in both! Now that is a crazy credit.
