The Stand

Glad to see a few mentions of “The Stand”.
I own that on DVD.
I wish some producer would take a look at remaking that, may over several theatrical release films, with today’s special effects, and much more character depth.
If done correctly, there’s a message about the difference between good and evil that the world needs to be reminded of right about now.

Not sure if it counts as a mini series, but hands down Ken Burns, The Civil War

[Oztrich Boy]

Best Miniseries aimed the the younger audience (and too damned good for them)

Eagle of the 9th (6 eps) 1977

Legend of King Arthur (8 eps)1979

Tripods don't count (too many episods)

I’m sure I could think of more, but three off the top of my head that I enjoyed:

JOHN ADAMS—the best mini series ever made IMO—supremely interesting from start to finish
Madada with Peter O’Toole and Peter Strauss
Chiefs with Brad Davis, Keith Carradine, and Charlton Heston
