As good as some series are, NONE of them raises to even knee-level of what we consider the best work of cinema - there are no series that one would put on the same plane with the works of Bergman, Fellini and other giants, there is never that level of philosophical depth, human study, etc, found in the series.There has never been... there shall never be... made for TV Persona or La Dolce Vita.

Yes you are absolutely right - Centennial, Into the West, Broken Trail, The Dove mini-series are all way better than that European crap to American audiences.

Hide it~ nothing looks better..
Sure they don't approach the epic ontological questions of great films but strictly for tinear's query don't those raise a blip on the Radar?
I think I agree with you. Two points; First, If the past markets had the same limits of targeted audience size and today's market share, then I think the filmmakers would have had similar potential for quality. I'm comparing today's production and distribution environment, not the great films and filmmakers of the past. Second, When your talking about today's world market, I think there's little difference in quality. The existing great talent (that gets hired and produced) will create similar quality films. When a creator catches lightning in a bottle, it is obviously timeless.
