Mini-Series that should be stretched into full series
Sci-fi Channel has two that came to mind for me. I just watched the Lost Room again this weekend. It was set up perfectly to continue as a series, plenty of unanswered questions and a few dangling plot devices. Plus about 100 more objects. Great mini.
I also liked Tin Man except for the ending. But Oz has a wonderful history to it that could be adapted for current times.

Re: Mini-Series that should be stretched into full series
Can we include the flip side: full-length series that should have been mini-series?
"Heroes" comes to mind.

Re: Mini-Series that should be stretched into full series
As I said, I had just watched the Lost Room again over the weekend. That was a FANTASTIC mini. great cast. decent effects, but the story and the look are what won me over.
I'd rather see it than Dr. Who cares.
