'Winds of War' and 'War and Remembrance' are the two miniseries I best recall.

I remember how my Mom told me when she gave birth to my brother in 83, the nurses were all in her room huddling around the TV watching the Thornbirds. It was a huge deal back then. The only thing I remember about it was the actor who played Q in Star Trek TNG was in it.

5:49 The wheel just starts spinning again after it stops, yeah that’s not fixed. 😂

One of my favorites is the 1989 Australian mini series Bangkok Hilton with a pre fame Nicole Kidman. It follows a woman unfairly sent to Thai prison. Love those mini series, but they rarely show up on Netflix or other online platforms, not even for rentals. Glad a few are here. The 1983 Return to Eden is very good too.

I remember a mini-series called ‘Lace’ which was about a young lady who approached a group of women who gave birth to her as a teen. She had to figure out which one of them was her mother. It was successful because they made a sequel with her approaching a group of men to seek her father. I enjoyed it and was surprised my mother allowed me and my younger sisters watch it. 😂

If you do a video on 90's miniseries at some point, I thoroughly recommend A&E's Hornblower.

Rich man poor man

90's list: The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All

I loved North and South, especially Bret and Billy .

OMG these are good choices. I’m old enough to have seen all of these IRL. Lonesome Dove and North &South were so good!!! The best thing about most of these miniseries is they were adapted from or had books written about the story. So like Harry Potter or Dune, you could watch’s the miniseries and stay in that world via the books. ❤

Would love to see a 70s top ten mini-series. Although I wouldn't envy anyone trying to decide between Roots and The Holocaust for top spot!

Chiefs was filmed in Chester, SC. My dad accidentally drove onto the movie set because the road wasn't closed. He got an autographed book.

You forgot Roots and Mistral’s Daughter.

How is TPIR not number 1?

Nice, Bumper Stumpers!

Centennial, The Women's Room, Rich Man Poor Man and just about anything with Richard Chamberlin,

He wasn't the first and he won't be the last, however he was the best.

Amerika was such a huuuge series.

I remember mixing up promos for "V" with the video footage of Chernobyl, and my idiot parents didn't place any of it into context so....Guess who thought Russians were lizard people...

Loved thorn birds

Still no Woman of Substance!!! And the sequels!! Love thesevids, some great memories :)

'Less Than Zero' is a certified classic

I need to watch Hollywood Wives. I haven't enjoyed some good old glitzy trash like that in decades

Missed a few still : Other side of midnight Return to eden! Princess daisy Scruples Deceptions! There were defo more sidney sheldon and judith kranz ones and some Danielle Steeles Im sure! Great work love these vids x

Excellent Second video... I think lace and lace too should've been number one.. Other than that total redemption. Bravo

Thanks for this list. I just watched chiefs and really enjoyed it.

Kane and Abel mini series was also powerful. Starring Sam Neill and Peter Straus

Small sacrifices brought me to tears. My children cried also. I've read about it

There is also: “On Wings of Eagles” from 1986 on NBC. A two part miniseries about Ross Perots two executives taken hostage in the midst of the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and his putting together a private rescue mission to get them out and escape Iran. Richard Crenna plays Ross Perot and Burt Lancaster plays Col. Bull Simons. There is another WW2 one called “Twist of Fate” from 1989about a Nazi officer who has himself surgically altered to look Jewish and slips into a concentration camp near the allied advance. But the camp prisoners are shipped further inland as soon as he arrives and he endures the onslaught of abuse and murder in the camp. He eventually is freed by the allies with the rest of the Jewish prisoners and makes his way to Palestine to fight alongside his nee friends that he has taken to and even married a woman and has a son who grows up and learns the truth about his father’s real background.

I’ll add another on to the list 😂. Alice in wonderland. I was fabulous with more stars in the sky. Music. Just fantastic. I still watch it as an adult ❤

The Wheel of Fortune concept was stolen from a 1967 Elvis Presley movie (Easy Come, Easy Go) where he played a navy frogman. His buddy (Pat Harrington, later Schneider of One Day at a Time) unveiled the wheel he made that would aid in partying with hot babes. Years later, Merv Griffin would try to claim that his wife came up with the idea, but no - the writer of that original Elvis film was the real genius behind it.

But......... roots🙂😊

Can you please talk about mini series of 70s, 90s, 2000s

Some interesting selections. I would have The Price is Right at #1 without question. The rest of my top five would be #2 Wheel of Fortune, #3 Press Your Luck, #4 Sale of the Century and #5 Pyramid. But like all lists it’s all about personal preference.

Thank you for including Empire of the Sun. It’s an excellent film with stunning cinematography. One of my all time favorites!

I remember watching this as it aired; such a cool episode. I thought at first, how ya gonna milk 20+ minutes out of this story?!? But you killed it, thanks for the great Gen X content!

I was waiting for "A Year in the Life"
