I'd have to go with Roots. It was groundbreaking for it's time and the first real look most Americans had at the black side of American slavery.

My only problem with the series is it was shot entirely in Southern California near Santa Clarita. Which look VERY different from South and North Carolina.

Heh, Dukes of Hazard was shot in the same place.

Shotgun has been added, and its early enough in the vote, I hope (I feel like a Florida election official!)

"V" is for Victory! How can a miniseries with a character named Elizardbeth possibly not be the best??

IMHO I thought that the 60's on nbc was pretty good. Much intrest in my part in that era.

I debated on adding dune, but it just didn't have that &quot;made for network television&quot; feel to it. I understand one of the characters in the show shares my last name, on an unrelated note.

You don't remember Kunta Kinte?

He looks like Geordi LaForge on ST TNG without the glasses and the uniform.
