The original 6 hour series of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy based on the book by the same name by John Le Carre was extremely well done. You had the feel that the movie scenes and dialogue followed the best ever spy novel exactly.
Shogun was another excellent series. It dealt with the opening of Japan to Europeans through the eyes of a European who finds himself stranded in a fiercely feudalistic Asian culture with no comprehension of the language or customs. Like the book, I found myself transported by the series into that era in Japan and beginning to understand the culture. And it was beautifully filmed as well.
Lonesome Dove. Best ever series about Texas. Nuf said.

War and Remembrance.. For the Holocaust scenes alone.....Gielgud and Seymour were tremendous.
The last scene of the series still tears me apart every time I watch it.

I liked Klondike. It was on the Discovery Channel in 3 2-hour segments.
I liked the original V miniseries, too.
The Kennedys miniseries was surprisingly good.

My short list:
Lonesome Dove
The original, British House of Cards (Ian Richardson was magnificent).
The Maxx - an mid-90s animated miniseries that ran on, of all networks, MTV. Easily the best storyline I’ve ever seen in an animated production.

Only one mention of Rome. Hint: John Milius, the same guy that wrote and directed Red Dawn, wrote Dirty Harry, Wind and the Lion, Rough Riders, Conan the Barbarian, Jeremiah Johnson...
Rome is his work, too. You can do worse by seeing more.

Oh, and of course, Band of Brothers. I deserve a Jethro Gibbs-smack for forgetting that one!

Buck Henry (Robert Mitchum) was great, too. I loved it when he put the Nazi waiters in their place.

I heard main characters keep dying which made it sound like it might be painful to watch.
