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?

I picked up V on DVD a couple of years ago, so that would definitely be on my list, though I don't think of it as a show from my childhood per se (I was in late high school).

I have fond memories of watching Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon and Cagney & Lacey with my grandmother. Though those were 80s shows as well... I don't really remember much that's older. I wasn't allowed much say in what was on our television when I was a child.
