I don't know where else to make this thread, so I put it here.

Here are my favorite mini-series:

ROOTS
THE TEMPTATIONS
WINDS OF WAR
FATAL VISION (the story of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald and the murder of his family)
THE THORN BIRDS
HOLLYWOOD WIVES
LACE
V


As a matter of fact, TVOne is showing Roots this week to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its original showing.

Shogun was my favorite.

Roots. Without a doubt. I show it every year in my Multicultural Studies Class. I LOVE it!

I never get tired of it. I love it as well.

My top two are The Awakening Land (http://imdb.com/title/tt0076981/) and the BBC's Pride and Prejudice (http://imdb.com/title/tt0112130/). Yes, the Colin Firth version. :D

The Temptations miniseries was good as well. I'd also love to see The Thorn Birds, Centennial and Roots, which are all on DVD now if I'm not mistaken.

The Thornbirds!!! You gotta love Meggie and Father Ralph! :D The absolute hottest priest I've ever seen.............................................anyway ;)

James A. Michener's Centennial(1978)

Most definately Lonesome Dove. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones were brilliant in that show.

You Betcha! They don't call him the Miniseries King for nothing! :D

The Rebels - (the Kent Family Chronicles), from the late 70's, it was set during the Revolutionary War and had Andrew Stevens in it.

The North & South, it was set during the civil-war and had Patrick Swayze in it.

I'd also love to see the North & South saga. Genie Francis (aka General Hospital's Laura) played Patrick Swayze's sister if I'm not mistaken.

It was a good show, I enjoyed Patrick Swayze in it. I don't know if its out on DVD or not, they might have it on vhs at Blockbuster or Hollywood video.

Ohhhhh, you reminded me of those mini-series' that use to air back in the 70's and The Rebels were one of them. The other one I loved was one called THE IMMIGRANTS. It starred Sharon Gless. Those were some good stories. They were books made into mini-series and they always aired on the same channel.

Band of Brothers
Shogun
The V
Battlestar Galactica miniseries (2003)

Oh excellent choice, the Jim Jones mini-series. That is POWERFUL stuff. I highly recommend this movie. Powers Booth did an excellent job of portraying that Jim Jones.

He won an Emmy for the role in 1980-81.

There were alot of good ones in the 70's & early 80's. Alot of them came on before we had a VCR so I never got to tape them. Wonder if they ever run on cable?

I have never seen them again since they aired back in the 70's. But you make me want to look them up and see if they are available on Amazon.

Not to mention the bootleg DVD circuit. Type a title into Google and you'll see what I mean.

The original Salem's Lot from 1979.
