TV Shows - Roots (TV miniseries)

Roots is a 1977 American television miniseries based on Alex Haley's work Roots: The Saga of an American Family. Roots received 36 Emmy Award nominations, winning nine; it also won a Golden Globe and a Peabody Award. It received unprecedented Nielsen ratings with the finale still standing as the third-highest rated U.S. television program ever. The series introduced LeVar Burton in the role of Kunta Kinte. It also starred Louis Gossett, Jr. as Fiddler. A sequel, Roots: The Next Generations, was broadcast in 1979, and a second sequel, Roots: The Gift, was produced as a Christmas movie and lacks the prestige of the original, despite the fact that LeVar Burton and Louis Gossett, Jr. starred.
