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

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.

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 ?

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.

Thank you all for participating! I hope more will join here and write their most beloved series.
I have to admit that I see many series I have no idea about! You are giving me new ideas! Wink
I also forgot to mention "Rome". Another excellent series, although lasted only for 2 seasons...
A couple of days ago I started watching "Homeland". It looks like a very good one!

As far as I see from your posts, probably you don't know a very good series, which I strongly recommend!
It is called "Life on Mars". (Imdb rating: 8.5)
It's an English series, 2 seasons, 8 episodes on each season.
It contains lots of great music from the 60's and the70's (Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, The Who,LOTS of David Bowie etc) and is a very interesting and weird story. I can't tell you about the plot because I don't think I can explain it so well.
But my suggestion is to give it a try sometime. It surely worth it!
Oh! and it is a BBC production... Wink
