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.

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.

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.

I tried to watch Good Times on that channel earlier today and about 15 minutes was all I could stand.

James A. Michener's Centennial(1978)

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