We enjoyed this series when it was on TV years ago. About 5 years ago I started looking for it on DVD in order to see it again but it was not available on DVD. The only VHS copies I could find were very high priced. Now suddenly we saw it for sale in a magazine for about $95. I searched on Amazon and sure enough we found it for a much better price!This series is the "coming out" performace of Nick Nolte and although he is not in it through the entire story, he is worth seeing in one of his first performances ever.The series was the FIRST mini-series of TV and it is typical of the series that followed, i.e., DALLAS, that used similar story/music/artwork style for the format of the series.Worth owning!!
