It's my favorite mini-series ever. It's a sweeping epic, on the scale of the trilogy.

I don't wanna sound like a nostalgic old man but that was really a golden age for the mini-series. ROOTS, THE HOLOCAUST, SHOGUN, etc...

They just don't produce them for network television anymore. Don't get me wrong, HBO and SHOWTIME have put out some beauties over the last few years, but there was just something about a big event mini-series on network tv during the "sweeps" weeks of november and february.

Then again, maybe I'm just crazy.
