There's been quite a few, but it matters your taste. Ken Burns The Civil War is great. I recently watched Shogun, it was edited down to movie length but I still enjoyed it for what it was. I think the Republic serials are a lot of fun, although not television mini-series like Merlin, they are made to be watched in episodes and are perfect for the laser format.

Stephen King's The Stand is a good one.

I guess the extended edition box set of Gettysburg would count as it is longer than the theatrical cut (over 4 hours!) and aired on TV over 3 days. As far as I know, this cut is as yet unavailable on DVD/Blu-ray.

Oliver Stone's Wild Palms, it's sort of in the vein of Twin Peaks.

Just picked up the langoliers from local private sale with 8 other movies and a sony ld player for $15. It is in mint condition. I have seen it on tv before. Now im interested in miniseries and made for tv movies. But getting this one so cheap will spoil my future purchases

Most of it was shot on PAL video, so a BD release would be rather unlikely. If the film inserts still exist, it might be worth it to make an up-scaled version using the PAL transform decoder - or at least a Doctor Who Restoration Team-style DVD re-release.
