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?
Shogun!
Hai!, wakari-mashita!
CC
Gettysburg (1993), Lonesome Dove, John Adams.
I didn’t get into miniseries but I use to love “Afternoon Specials”.
Thornbirds. Something I should have hated, but I loved it!
What? Nobody liked “North and South”?
Danger UXB, Piece of Cake.
Band of Brothers
MST3K
My favs; Rome, Big Love, 6ft Under., Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, MadMen, Downton Abby, Mr. Selfridge.
That was not a comment.
well that’s a great one as I listed.
I’ve watched mini-series since Rich Man.
I liked Fargo this year and they will come back next year with new story and new cat. A mini-series every year.
The Stand
Chiefs (1982)
Three generations of police chiefs for a southern town go about their jobs while a serial murderer operates.

I Claudius
Since there were only 6 hours filmed, I’m going to include Fawlty Towers on my list.
When does something stop being a mini-series and become a series.
Game of Thrones will be going into what 5th year soon. Is that a mini-series?
War and Remembrance..
Awakening Land.
Mr. RR is watching Victory at Sea right now. But I loved the Thornbirds and Lonesome Dove.
