I don't watch TV. I've gotten to where tuning in to anything, commercials or otherwise, for more than ten minutes drives me into an unintelligible rage. The only three TV shows I have ever loved:

-The Twilight Zone (original) - but this is merely an expansion on my love for socially-oriented science fiction short stories, especially guys like Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, and Richard Matheson.

-The Prisoner (original) - Golly, but wasn't that remake dreadful?

-Monty Python's Flying Circus - funniest televised programming I've ever seen.

I also used to dig Cowboy Bebop a great deal, but now realize it was primarily due to the music more than anything else. I enjoy the OST more than the show.

it's probably The Wild Wild West but also a lifelong fan of ST:TOS and Twilight Zone

anybody remember a show from the late 80s called The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd with Blair Brown ?

That's  a  full series here.

Ok. Some of the others lasts over 30 hours, so I just felt like mentioning it.

Just highlighting the difference between  our two countries.Smile 

I'll admit I'm not really sure what qualifies as a mini-series anywhere. Just thought of them as rather short compared to the others.

Pretty normal length here
