I don't know why but all of the sudden I am nostalgic for the sweeping miniseries. Maybe it is a lost art form but after watching most of Centenial I kind of miss the sweeping generational epic. We have channels for everything else, but I would love a channel dedicated just to epics. Maybe they would produce new ones as well. We could watch Centenial, the Winds of War, Shogun, Roots and so forth.
I am thinking how it would be good to see faithful reproductioms of the entire Northwest Passage and Arundel books. There could even be an after show segment where readers can discuss the book with English and history proffessors.
Some day.

I loved all those miniseries that you mentioned!
Centennial is one of my favorite books of all time.
Why don't we get miniseries on the three big networks anymore?
We could do with some good miniseries right now, IMO.
