Thank you so much for investing the time to post the entire mini series. I only saw it during it’s original airing. I am truly grateful to get to see it again
And that is why for the longest time afterwards, the complete mini-series was only available in Australia...No Joke, A few years ago the only complete version I was able to find, came from repeated broadcasts on Australian TV.

I have always remembered that line since I first heard it. Every time I have been to DC since I still repeat it. Have been looking for this series for years. Thank you beyond belief for posting it.
This book of Steven Sohmer is is so well thought through, I can keep watching these series over and over again. Here some eternal texts: You don't believe in anything do you? I believe in lots of things but NOT people. --- Tell me something: have I changed? You mean have you turned into a shrewd ruthless bitch, who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, doesn't care who she hurts, as long as she can win? --- Who are these mighty people? The same people who brought you tax loopholes, selective service: The rich, the privileged, the powers that be. Are they going to kill us? Only if we poke too deep. --- A nation that can put a man on the moon Can put a fool in the White House --- In the end there is no winning or loosing, Only women who cry over the graves And so it goes for centuries. --- The lust for power is like a dark beast: The more it is fed the larger it grows, And the larger grows its appetite. Those who have some power hunger for more And those who have most are insatiable. --- They are too big Mancuso You will never going to get them ... I am tired of trying to get them, Now I am going to help them get each other. --- Now listen Tinker Bell You better fly up to your flock and get him Or I am gonna wrap you of two walls, Go on before I put your daisy --- Sam: It is the constitution, it is the law! Sam, gravity is a law, The constitution is just a wistful outdated dream.
I really miss the era of mini-series. I guess I missed this when it originally aired. Terrific cast - John Mahoney, Ronny Cox, Kenneth McMillan, James Whitmore, Mitchell Ryan, Stefanie Kramer, etc.
I’m always grateful for the comments as I check to see if something is going to be a complete waste of time or not , or just an acceptably amusing distraction during these trying times. Thank you to all who post sensible and helpful reviews and of course to Ben Wagner for his huge efforts and time in helping us lonelier folk to get through the day . Just out of interest….is this Harry Hamlin chap, one of the parents who tried to “buy “ university paces for his children ? If I’m confused, my sincere apologies to him. Thank you.
I was working the graveyard shift at NBC at this time. I watched it on NBC's internal feed from the West Coast prior to it being released to the public. There was a pretty graphic sex scene in the back of the limo between Hamlin and Kozlowski. It was cut from this versionn, where Hamlin is seen changing his shirt.
Been wanting to see this again. I remember how shocking and controversial it was at the time...now, it's just only too believable. It certainly prefigures the hard-edged political thrillers today...Homeland, House of Cards, Scandal. Nothing is too outrageous anymore.
Engaging and well-plotted story. The acting is pretty good too but man, that script is really a clunker. People don't talk like that. I'll be off to watch part 2 so thanks for the upload.
Not the same. Trump is a failed businessman, chronic liar, and a convicted felon....who just barely got elected President one time gaming the Electoral College in 2016. Harry Hamlin's character is actually much the opposite : intelligent and polished.

You're welcome! This is one of the good things about the internet.
Been looking for the unedited version of the miniseries for a while, thanks for uploading it!
I didn't watch this when it came out - scary how prescient it was!
Nick Mancuso is awesome. It's a shame his spinoff only lasted a season. Thanks for posting! I remember when it first aired.
I loved that show. Especially the intro theme.
Linda Kozlowski was in Crocodile Dundee and the ads for the mini-series really placed her front and center.
And that is why for the longest time afterwards, the complete mini-series was only available in Australia...No Joke, A few years ago the only complete version I was able to find, came from repeated broadcasts on Australian TV.

she was just as hot as sharon stone and an better actress
The Secret Service's main missions are: 1. Protect Foreign Dignitaries & 2. Government Officials (President, VP, Congress Members) & 3. Counterfeiting...
'If govt worked they way it looks, this would be a great country...', love this line from the series
When I uploaded this I had no idea it would be representative of the "good old days". Crazy stuff.

Tell me something: have I changed?
You mean have you turned into a shrewd ruthless bitch,
who will stop at nothing to get what she wants,
doesn't care who she hurts, as long as she can win?
---
Who are these mighty people?
The same people who brought you tax loopholes, selective service:
The rich, the privileged, the powers that be.
Are they going to kill us?
Only if we poke too deep.
---
A nation that can put a man on the moon
Can put a fool in the White House
---
In the end there is no winning or loosing,
Only women who cry over the graves
And so it goes for centuries.
---
The lust for power is like a dark beast:
The more it is fed the larger it grows,
And the larger grows its appetite.
Those who have some power hunger for more
And those who have most are insatiable.
---
They are too big Mancuso
You will never going to get them ...
I am tired of trying to get them,
Now I am going to help them get each other.
---
Now listen Tinker Bell
You better fly up to your flock and get him
Or I am gonna wrap you of two walls,
Go on before I put your daisy

Sam: It is the constitution, it is the law!
Sam, gravity is a law,
The constitution is just a wistful outdated dream.
Thanks for the quotes. The "Lust for power" section is especially powerful.
I always loved the opening scene: the construction workers watching the Marines raise the flag.
Yes, that was pretty cool!
They do not make videos like this anymore. Love Harry, excellent in everything he plays. Excellent movie. Thanks so much for uploading.

"If the government worked the way it looked, it would be a great country." Nick Mancuso
My favorite line too

No he is not among them
At least they mention a country that exists.
I've always loved the American Flag and the Anthem it means something to all American Patriots
That's so true! To some or stands for freedom...to some, it means bondage...and both are right.
I heard there was a controversy surrounding this miniseries. What was that controversy ?
I was working the graveyard shift at NBC at this time. I watched it on NBC's internal feed from the West Coast prior to it being released to the public. There was a pretty graphic sex scene in the back of the limo between Hamlin and Kozlowski. It was cut from this versionn, where Hamlin is seen changing his shirt.

Yeah, it seemed unfathomable back then.... but not anymore. Thanks for watching!
I would really like to have the opening theme music from this movie!
Engaging and well-plotted story. The acting is pretty good too but man, that script is really a clunker. People don't talk like that. I'll be off to watch part 2 so thanks for the upload.
07:09 Blimey! This just happened for real!
I am reminded of Donald Trump.
Not the same. Trump is a failed businessman, chronic liar, and a convicted felon....who just barely got elected President one time gaming the Electoral College in 2016. Harry Hamlin's character is actually much the opposite : intelligent and polished.
It was Cold War.
