5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best!, October 26, 2005

By	Movie Nut (New York USA) - See all my reviews

I would have to rate this as the best mini-series ever produced. I recently got to see it again after about 25 years. I borrowed it from the library, which seems like the only place that still might have a copy. I recall when it was first on TV, I think it was an ABC Movie Event. Sitting each week enthralled in the storyline and then waiting for the next episode. This was the most thrilling thing to ever have been on television and it has stayed with me all these years. I became a life long Nick Nolte fan after seeing 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. I only wish this was on DVD! With all the junk that is put on DVD, why not something this ground breaking???

5.0 out of 5 stars The best mini-series prior to Roots, July 16, 2006

By	epcthree "epcthree" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rich Man, Poor Man [Region 2] (DVD)

This was the measuring stick for Mini-Series until Roots came along. Excellent storyline and strong performances throughout. A very young Nick Nolte (although admittedly you have to stretch to accept him as a high school student!) gives the performance that put him on the path to stardom. Ed Asner as the head of the Jordache family gives one of his finest performances in a role mostly against type. All in all a terrific series that finally has made it to US DVD release.

Available on eBay, but be careful that you are ordering the US Region (Region 1) and not a European version (Region 2).
