January 31, 201610 yr In addition to the already mentioned Band of Brothers and Lonesome Dove I would add Salem's Lot, Chiefs and The Pacific.
February 1, 201610 yr 1. Centennial. Robert Conrad played an intriguing character in that one. Clay Basket was beautiful. And Detroit Lions great, Alex Karras, played a German immigrant who was a tough old bird. Lots of stars scattered throughout the cast. They actually filmed part of that not far from where I grew up. I even had opportunity to watch some of the filming. 2. The Holocaust. It made quite an impact on me. I was just a teenager. Both of these miniseries were in 1978. Centennial was the first one to pop into my head. Really enjoyed it.
February 1, 201610 yr Of the ones mentioned I really like Band of Brothers and Lonesome Dove. However, Planet Earth gets my vote rather easily. The best nature footage ever. I love Planet Earth!!!
February 1, 201610 yr Are you referring to Augusta? It wasn't until just a month or so ago that I found out that they had filmed certain portions of it there. I think it was some of the scenes that were supposed to be based in old St. Louis. Nope. I lived in a different state then.
February 2, 201610 yr Of course Band of Brothers and Roots, Pacific wasn't quite as good as Band of Brothers but still good, I think because it didn't follow one group but several different storylines. I'd add V, it started as a mini series in the 80's, then became a series and ran a couple seasons, then came back a few years ago in a reboot for a couple of seasons.
February 2, 201610 yr What is the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes show called ? If that counts it's either that or Band of Brothers.
February 2, 201610 yr Author 1. Band o Brothers 2. Pacific 3. Shogun ( going back a ways ) Wow, forgot about that one. I think my mom watched that one, but I can't recall much about it. Seems like there was a time where Richard Chamberlain was the king of the miniseries. He was in Centennial, The Thorn Birds and Shogun, wasn't he? That's three of them in what, 5 or 6 years?
