After mulling over the thoughts of my last post (see: MY LAST POST<\/a>), I realized there must be more mini-series on my motion pictures list besides just Roots<\/em>. So I opened up my list of every motion picture I’ve seen, and sorted them by catergory. This collected all the made-for-TV movies together, allowing me to scan through that relatively short selection and see which ones are mini-series.<\/p>\n

Turns out, I had forgotten about V<\/a><\/em>, both the original series, and The Final Battle<\/em>. So I deleted those from my list, too. Then there was Tin Man<\/a><\/em>, a mini-series my wife and I just watched a couple of years ago. It stars Zooey Deschanel, too, so shame on me for forgetting about it. Also in the mini-series catergory was Alice in Wonderland<\/a><\/em>, a 1985 series I watched as a kid and, pretty much have completely forgotten about.<\/p>\n

Besides these mini-series, the only other possible contender on my list was Anne of Green Gables<\/a>. <\/em>But then I looked it up at IMDb, and realized that both it and the sequel were not mini-series but were, in fact, really long movies. So Anne <\/em>stays.<\/p>\n

Naturally, I figured I now needed to have a separate list of mini-series that I’ve seen, so I whipped me up a new list. Then I thought, hey – if I’m gonna have a list of mini-series I’ve seen, then I also need a list of maxi-series…you know, regular TV shows? So I made that list, too.<\/p>\n

Here they are:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0You may be surprised to note that Survivor<\/em> and The Amazing Race<\/em> are not on this list. That’s because\u00a0there are a few seasons I have not watched, and everyonce in a while, I miss an episode. I’m currently ploughing through Better Off Ted, Seinfeld<\/em>, The Sopranos<\/em>, and Modern Family<\/em>, so I’ll be adding those soon, too. If I was to expand this list to “Series I’ve seen loads of,” then I’d have to add in all sorts of embarrassing stuff I watched as a kid, such as Diff’rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Golden Girls, Happy Days, Family Ties, Gilligan’s Island, Bewitch, I Dream of Jeannie, Macgyver, <\/em>as well as some long-standing shows I couldn’t possibly catch in their entirety, like The Simpsons<\/em> and Saturday Night Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
