What Is Your Favorite MiniSeries Ever On Tv

gmart74 · Feb 4, 2013

There have been lots of great miniseries- V, Band of Brothers, Roots, Shogun, etc.

However I think one of the best, and very underrated, was 10.5

It was an epic tale of a stagnasty earthquake the changed the world. it is beyond awesome.

My favorite is probably the North and the South. I watched it as a boy and just watched the whole series a few years back as an adult. It is very well done.

Lonesome Dove maybe?

Pillars of the Earth was on Starz. A faithful adaptation of one of my favorite books,by Ken Follett.

Another vote for V. That was what, '83 or '84?

I almost want to add The Ten Commandments. (Maybe because it was so long it just seemed like a mini-series.) That's just a great movie.

It won't get most votes but The 4400 was awesome

See, I missed that one when it was on regular television. It was probably another 10 or 15 years before I saw it at all.

I do recall loving the fire out of it though.

Lonesome Dove and Roots.

Of the classics, I remember Shogun and The Martian Chronicles fondly (among others).

Of the more contemporary miniseries, I'd have to say Dune and Children of Dune (among others).

Dune scared the crap out of me. Roots was good. I'm gonna go with The Temptations.

What about it scared you? Just curious.

I was young and my sisters used that show, along with Gremlins, to scare me. Oh how I love them!!

I liked two that were based off of Stephen King books..."The Stand" and "It".

Does "Firefly" count as a mini-series?

If it does, it wins hands-down!
