Nope. Is that a classic?

Okay, this is a bona fide mini-series, one of the best ever.
Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

I had never heard of Aspen, looks pretty good. But it is not the one. Next quote:

Amid this stellar cast, this young actress held her own in one of her early major appearances.
Lorie darlin', life in San Francisco, you see, is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things, like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself.

Certainly several know this one, but I will keep throwing up quotes from this quotable mini-series based on a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

I think the answer to this might be posted over in the movie thread.

Okay, this one started as a 2-part mini-series that was so well received that it then spawned a second 3 part mini-series, and then finally a regular three season show...(And more recently also a pretty crappy short-lived remake.)

The original mini-series and the second mini-series were vastly superior to the regular series that followed. (The poignant message of the two mini-series' gradually got lost as the show got campier and campier, and the writers couldn't seem to figure out where to go with it...)

That alone ought to be enough for anyone at all familiar with the series to get the right answer, (since I don't think there's any other show in TV history that had that evolution...two mini-series, a regular series and a remake...) but here's the first quote...

From the original mini-series:
You always said it couldn't happen here... Then one day we woke up and we were living in a Fascist state.

U?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
