For whatever reason, the Jane Seymour miniseries version of East of Eden popped in my head today. I was surprised to find out not only was it available in DVD form, but my library co-op has it. Immediately put it on request. Labor Day viewing here I come.

And I was PEEVED that they recast her mother, played wonderfully by Bess Armstrong, with some other forgettable blonde, the horrible "sequel."
Sequel? What sequel? There is no sequel to Lace or V or the book Flambards or <add your own unnecessary nonexistent sequel>. . .
So let it be written. So let it be done.

I always liked Lace.
I loved Lace but it's been mentioned before so didn't include it. However the line, "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" will forever remain a miniseries classic.

I started looking up mini-series from the 80s.
QBVII with Ben Gazzara and Anthony Hopkins
Rich Man, Poor Man which "made" both Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss.
The Executioner's Song with Tommy Lee Jones.
Really great stuff aired during those prime network miniseries days.

Perhaps he laughed himself to death? (Too soon?)
Not to me. It's a way of showing respect for the work he put on the screen. R.I.P. Mr. Williams.

The old Mystery series shown on PBS, Mother Love, starring Diana Rigg my top priority. I actually taped Mother Love at the time to watch and deleted it afterwards. If I had known Mother Love would not be repeated, become impossible finding a legitimate copy and therefore disappearing, I never would have done so. Rigg was magnificent!

And then there was a scene shortly after that where the cameraman gets into a fight with one of the visitors and pulls off his human mask so for the first time we see the reptilian eyes and skin underneath. Man, I had a few nightmares because of that when I was young!
The original V was 🔥 🔥 🔥! Everything following afterward (IMO) never measured up.
V introduced me to the pre Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund and no, his character was not the one snacking on small animals as if they were Lays potato chips.

That has an incredible cast! River Phoenix when he was 11? Wow.
Those network miniseries back then had cast way beyond solid, featuring seasoned and rising young actors. I first became acquainted with Meryl Streep, Michael Moriarty, James Woods, Tovah Feldshuh, and Blanche Baker from the NBC miniseries Holocaust.

Was it the mini series Celebrity?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086679/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_28
I remember it because of Michael Beck.

I concur, that is indeed the miniseries I was thinking of.
Funny. I haven't thought of this miniseries for years and it never was something I longed to see once again. Yet when reading conversations on the True Crime forum about Manson's Girls, out of nowhere this miniseries popped in my mind. Weird.
Thanks so much for finding it, Blackberryjam!

Here's another miniseries I'm drawing a blank on. It was late 80's/90's. Based on a book by one of those authors who were always writing the type of books later to be turned into TV miniseries during this time period. It was about three male friends. One I believe went to Hollywood and perhaps was in the closet, Another friend became head of a cult and was evil. The third friend I can't remember at all. Maybe - or maybe not - they were tied together forever by a childhood secret? I believe one of the actors became quite well known later. Of course my memory is vague so my details could be wrong (LOL).
ETA: At least I think became a miniseries. Maybe it was just a book. AGH!!!

One thing that boggles my mind is when a seemingly normal person gets completely obsessed with a cat fisher to the point that they take every word they say as the gospel and even KILL someone based on the catfisher's lies!!! I just can not understand it. And they've never even met the person!! Of course, latter they find out this online love interest is not who they claim And the story is a lie.
Not just catfished people fall for this. I'm always baffled at people having affairs being told by lovers "My husband/father/mother is doing X and wants to kill me. I need for YOU to kill THEM." Wouldn't it be easier to simply break off the affair? Contact child protective services? Call the police? But nope. So many just fall in line, kill somebody, then weep on the witness stand wishing they could take it back usually because the person wanting the kill pointed the finger squarely at them.
