Which are the best miniseries ever?

[MNDude]

I don't watch TV much these days, so I can't say what have been popular miniseries in the past decade or so, but I remember there used to be big budget miniseries on TV all the time (A.D., The Winds of War, Roots. Etc). In your opinion, what were the greatest miniseries of all time?

Nominees: 1) Danger UXB, 2) Band of Brothers, 3) The Pacific, 4) I, Claudius, 5) Victory at Sea, 6) Horatio Hornblower, 7) John Adams, 8) The World at War.

I second that...

Lonesome dove

Even back then, I can remember my mom saying that she thought Richard Chamberlain was gay. Her ‘gaydar’ was pretty strong. LOL!

[what's up]

Fall of Eagles

The First Churchills

The Wilderness Years (about Churchill)

[doorgunner69]

Lonesome Dove is going down as a unique American Gothic (whatever the hell that means).

It has a timeless feel to it. I watch it whenever I steal the remote from the wife and channel surf for a bit. There are certain parts that are my favorites, but the whole thing is such a compelling piece of work.

Speaking of Churchill, Albert Finney as Churchill in “The Gathering Storm” was amazing....It’s one of my favorite all-time movies.

I didn’t like Roots either. There was not one white person that was trustworthy. They would appear to befriend the slave, and then would turn on them. It did nothing for race relations except to make them worse.

[Revelation Concepts]

Jesus Of Nazareth

Band of Brothers

V

The Pacific

Cannot comment, do not own a TV.

Gosh - they're really inexpensive these days. We may have one in the garage that you can have.

North & South

Masada was good but Peter O’Toole completely dominated the show.

Peter O'Toole was a genius.

[Cry if I Wanna]

And, if “24” is considered a miniseries, no others need apply.

If 24 is in then "Mad Men"is in too.

[FrdmLvr]

Oh that was so good! Thanks for reminding me of it! I’m going to look for it.

[publius911]

Late for the party but I have to vote.
In chronological order :

Victory at Sea,
Shogun.

[Fungi]

No comment.

I refuse to even own one, not even a similitude of one— which makes no sense. A TV, a cable connection, an Internet connection, suddenly that is serious money. I have however posted a real tagline. Don't look!

You can cry all you want.

Have fun.

Windsor War; Shogun; Centennial; if you can tolerate its syrupy plot Thorn Birds and North & South.

I could barely tolerate Roots at the time but couldn't choke it down now, not with the Jeffersons in the W. House!
