Favorite Mini-Series?

I have to go with Centennial. I know that goes back a way, but I have never seen one to match it, with the possible exception of Roots.

I also loved The Adams Chronicles and The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R.

Many moons ago, I did get hooked on the first half of Winds of War, but the end was such a downer/cop out, I never bothered with the second half.

Oh -- and I did see all of the Thornbirds -- even with the tweaks in the plot from the book, it was good.

Haven't gotten hooked on a good miniseries in years.

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

I am, currently, watching "Winds of War" which is wonderfully produced. The actors are excellent, especially, David Dukes,Jan-Michael Vincent and Ali McGraw.

Brideshead Revisited (1981)


Could never get my arms wrapped around that title.

Would never watch it based on how ridiculous it sounds!
