Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

I hope someone can remember, because I can't. LOL !! There was a mini series on ABC back in the early 1980's, a lil girl is kidnapped and never returned. Years later, the girl comes back into her father's life but I think there is a romantic element because they don't know who the other really is.

Help please. :) It's driving me crazy !!

That is creepy.

Roots.

You're welcome.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

It sounds more like something that was a plot on DYNASTY.

The Thorn Birds. I think you got the plot mixed up. The Father is a Priest and the girl Meggie, was a kid he met, but later fell in love with when she got older.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

Seriously, sounds close to the plot of The Thorn Birds but the "father" was a priest.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

maybe The Thorn Birds

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

It might have been "The Thornbergs" about a dysfunctional Jewish family in Brooklyn.

I thank everyone for the responses, but it is NOT the thorn birds or Dynasty!! LOL !! No, the family is in europe (maybe) and the dad is some sort of diplomat. this is going to drive me crazy, lol.

then Roots, for sure.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

Sounds like Brian de Palma's Obsession:

skatefan20 ~ i love you !! Thank you !!

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

so a 1980s mini-series is a 1970s movie! got it.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

I saw it on ABC in the early 80's and we're talking about 30 years ago. So please, don't be snarky.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

The more you tell dvdtalkers to not be snarky the more snarky they get. It's bred into them.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

That's just sad. But at least someone was able to help me.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

It's a right of passage. Weeds out the ones who can't take it.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

Yes, it was pretty sad in Obsession when they cut off Kunta Kinte's foot.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

I think it's the Thornbirds. Or maybe Roots.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

My guess would have been Lace II.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

I was thinking Oldboy. But upon further reflection, I'm gonna go with Roots.

Re: Looking for the name of a 1980's mini series
 

Look guys, Roots was a funny answer when I came in here and said it for the third post. It was VERY funny in fact. Oh how I laughed when I posted it. But now, Roots is just tired. Let's give it a rest and give me the proper credit for such an amusing answer.

Roots

The Wild Thornberrys
