What Mini Series Would You Like To See Again?

[Virgo10]

Some of them haven't been on in a very long time and would be fun to view again.

I'd like to see the following.

The 6 Wives of Henry the 8th. PBS

Rich Man. Poor Man. Two words.... Nick Nolte!

The Way We Live Now. PBS

The Awakening Land. Starred Elizabeth Montgomery.

The Buccaneers. PBS

Holocaust

The Martian Chronicles

And of course my all time favorite TV presentation EVER...

I, Claudius.

North and South

Two great civil war miniseries on TBS: Gettysburg and Andersonville. Loved them both!!

Rich Man Poor Man and North and South both are my favorites.

I loved I, Claudius! I'd like them to rerun Shogun, because I think my DS 16 would enjoy it. He's fascinated with Japanese culture, mostly due to video games and anime, I'm sure.

I loved shogun - I read the books which were good -but long
I really liked the "Thorn Birds" when it came out (I was a teenager)-but in re-watching it it isn't very well acted. IMO
Have you checked netflix for some of these? They may be available.

Roots

Ditto I Claudius.

I've found that video/DVDs can make the whole experience more palatable. There are no commercials (and yes, I know that Claudius was on PBS) and you can watch at your leisure. DW and I once watched Centennial this way, and enjoyed it. We also laughed at some bad performances and some very bad make-up.

OMG, wasn't that the show with the worst facial hair?? We were laughing ourselves silly over the bad make up.

Virgo if you like historical mini-series you might enjoy ROME from HBO. DH and I have been getting it from netflix and are hooked.
It is not a mini series however -it is just a regular series. I have read that it is so expensive they are only making two seasons. It is very "adult" and I read some reviews that thought it was trashy and had unecessary explicit content. I must be a bit low class in my tastes -I really like it!!

Stephan Kings The Stand. Awesome book awesome mini series

I liked Backstairs at the White House. It was a behind the scenes look at all the employees at the White House. Very interesting.

Ooo, I had forgotten about that. Wonderful show. That's really one they should put on again.

North and South. I loved that mini series!!!

 

[Liberty Belle]

North and South and Roots. Is the Autobiography of Aunt Jane Pittman a mini-series or just a movie? I loved that as a child!

Also, what's the mini-series with "Whatcha plantin', Foxy?" I remember really enjoying that one.

DH and I were just talking the other day Centennial and were wondering if we would enjoy it as much today as we did 30 years ago. I have a feeling we wouldn't, but I would like to see it again.

The name of this one was "Chiefs". That line is a joke with my family. Sometimes I will go up to one of my sisters and say "Whatcha plantin', Foxy". I know, kinda strange.
