  the first mini series i was obsessed with was undoubtedly Princes Daisy – it introuced an impressionable child to incest, perpetrated by Rupert Everett, who gives me the chills whenever i see him on the street, which undoubtedly harks back to that.

  There’s a tie for the first miniseries I was obsessed with – The 10th Kingdom and Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth), both of which I still adore. The 10th Kingdom appealed to my inner child and Pride and Prejudice appealed to my inner 50 year old divorcee. I still watch them both continuously.

  I think the first one I can remember being taken in by was Stephen King’s Rose Red. I think I enjoyed it so much more because it terrified my mother and I still forced her to sit through it all.

  I’m going to show my age here, but it most definitely was James Michener’s Centennial. My whole family watched it every year, because my father was obsessed with the history of the Old West, and especially the Rocky Mountains. Of course, it had Richard Chamberlain in it, like every 70s and 80s miniseries did. My sister and I would even act out scenes.

  I remember my parents watching North and South with Patrick Swayze and being really into it but I remember nothing about it now.

  My favorite mini-series is definitely Lonesome Dove, how can you not like a western that has Steve Buscemi in it.

  Well, if we count those which became miniseries even when they weren’t meant to be, THE PRISONER. I caught it as a Very young person when it was first telecast in the US in 1969 (iirc) and Rover was Very scary.

  For those that were actually meant to be miniseries, THE FORSYTE SAGA, in repeats (it had first been broadcast in the US on National Educational Television before PBS was founded, but I didn’t catch up with it and get caught up in it till 1976)…just a bit before I got caught up in ROOTS, which I’d read before the series began (THE BASTARD and a few others just didn’t sweep me up, though I’d watch a bit of the various MASTERPIECE THEATRE items from time to time).

  My favorite mini-series, by far, is called Dead Set. It is a zombie series based on the UK Big Brother set. It is awesome!

  The first miniseries I remember watching was a parody similar to “The Spoils of Babylon”. It was called “Fresno” and starred Carol Burnett & Dabney Coleman. I was young and can’t remember if it was any good or not, but I’ve never seen it rerun or issued on home video, so I’m guessing it wasn’t too great.
