The only miniseries that I can think of to rival "Lonesome Dove" as best miniseries of all time is "Band of Brothers. This is an Adult Western, at least a PG-13. The cast is absolutely superb from Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee James through all the smaller parts and character roles. Of those, Danny Glover and Angelica Huston are perhaps the best, but that's arguable because of all the outstanding performances. It has now been over 40 years since it premiered, and its impact is still as great. Even when compared to the greatest Big Screen Westerns of all time, "Lonesome Dove" is still one of the very best of all time. "Lonesome Dove" is proof that quality commercial television is possible, but there increasingly seems to be less rather than more.
