I remember the original V. I may have even watched it once or twice.
The late 70 and early 80s seemed to be the peak of the mini series era. At least for me.
I remember Roots, the Thorn Birds, North & South, Shogun, and Lonesome Dove. It seemed like there was a rule, perhaps even a law, that Richard Chamberlain had to appear in each mini series.
They were all forgettable, except the only mini series that I ever got even a little excited about:
The Stand.
I'm sure if I saw it today, I'd think it was dumb, but it was your post apocalyptic star studded extravaganza. And M-O-O-N spells moon.
