Lonsome Dove is one of my favorite all-time books. Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call two of the greatest characters ever written. RIP Larry McMurtry.

I loved the mini-series too.
Casting of Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones...brilliant!
Favorite scene: when Woodrow Call's son is being cuffed around in the street as he tries to keep the Scout from taking the horse...

“Lonesome Dove” is the best thing I’ve ever seen on TV. Nothing else comes close.

Most famous line by McMurtrey in the woke era: “I wish I could quit you”.

Mine too. I read Lonesome Dove and a sequel and a couple more of his novels.
I saw the miniseries before I read the book. I thought it was outstanding, thanks to Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones, two terrific actors.

I really need to watch Lonesome Dove. Everyone raves about it.

When I was on vacation reading the book in the tent when the kids were young they wanted me to stop reading it before bed and early in the morning because my involuntary laughter either kept them up or woke them up. Great imagery.

Never saw brokeback mountain, but from the press, and the way fags loved it, I doubt I would have liked the author.

Absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. The miniseries of the book was 'must see' TV, producers/directors of that series nailed every character. Have the series on DVD and probably watch it at least once a year.

I've read most of the posts and I will agree that the series was great, as was the novel.
However, the 70's had two great miniseries from two other great novels - Rich Man, Poor Man written by Irwin Shaw and QB VII written by Leon Uris. Another great novel Once An Eagle was a so-so series.
