TV events (miniseries and such, not so much regular shows)

[netmouse]

As I recently posted on a friend's journal as a comment, when I think TV miniseries of my childhood, I think of "V", which I'm pretty sure I've seen more than once, "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby", which is why I first fell in love with Roger Rees, and "North and South", about the civil war.

What TV events and miniseries do you remember taking a chunk of time out of life when you were young?

"Here, mousey mousey mousey..." Oh yes, I remember V. :) (The scene where the factory worker exposed to cryogenics shatters his arm on a railing led to a still-active mild phobia about cryogenics... which made working with liquid helium in college interesting.)

I recall a number of PSB miniseries that we recorded and played until the tapes wore out: Miracle of Life, Cosmos, and of course endless amounts of Jacque Cousteau.
