Band of Brothers is easily the best miniseries of all time. I also have to mention the cancelled series HBO had called Carnivale. If you ever get a chance to see either, I highly recommend them.

Band of brothers is amazing. That's my pick. It's simply awsome, great cinematography, great acting, great action, true story, and awsome soundtrack. Simply put, this mini series is phenomonal! I own it = )

10/10

Sorry to pull up an old thread.
I too like Band of Brothers, but Lonesome Dove has to be the best of all time.
God Bless!

Must be "Roots". Its kinda dated now, but when it first aired in the 70's every household in America was tuned in. It was a big deal.

However, for me it would be "Jesus of Nazareth", the same one you buy on DVD now. It first aired on network TV. That was back before the mainstream media was anti-Christian.

Yes "Jesus of Nazareth" is a Great choice. TBN shows it commercial free from time to time.
They also show a 2 part (4 hour) movie called "Peter and Paul" that is really good.
They show several different versions of the story of King David too. In one of them,
Saul tells the Shepard boy David "Never let an Old Man pour Oil on Your Head, it's Bad Luck"

God Bless!

Lowering the tone (a lot : ) I loved 'V'.
Sad when thinking of tv mini-series its about the only one that comes to mind, but it is so bad its great just re watched it - pure dead brilliant.
north and south was good as well.

V, because I love Sci-Fi. :-D

"Holocaust" probably had the biggest impact~maybe not the "best"...haven't seen it since I was a teen...it came out 1978.

Oooh. I remember that one. That was good.

But I'm still sticking with "Jesus of Nazareth".

I really liked Jesus of Nazareth, but I had just one problem with Jesus seemed way to calm in it, he showed little emotion.

Yes, but you must remember that it was on prime-time network television in the 70's. You couldn't put an angry Jesus in that time slot.

I'll take your word for I wasn't born until '81 :D. But that does make sense I still like it though.
