Shogun
Massada (Plot used later for a TV Alamo mini series movie)
Lonesome Dove

Lots of week long mini-series were made from the late 1970s through 1985.

They overwhelmed many of the viewers and for a late viewer they made no sense unless you saw the complete series from the first.

I hate to pick one.

“The Thorn Birds” “Rich Man Poor Man” and “QB VII” spring to mind.

I may remember some others later.

I haven’t seen it, but if I were to pick something I’d like to see, I would try “From the Earth to the Moon,” which is a history of the Apollo moon landing.

And, if “24” is considered a miniseries, no others need apply.
