I think it was for the same reason the Naked Gun series didn't do well despite people loving the movies - producers misunderstood how audiences watched television. Now however, people's viewing habits have changed. Are there mini-series from that era you'd recommend? I'd be curious how they hold up.

Lonesome Dove (1989) is one of the greatest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome_Dove_(miniseries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome_Dove_(miniseries)

Roots is probably the most famous of them. Winds of War, and its sequel. The Thorn Birds. Lonesome Dove.
