Page "Amerika (TV miniseries)" Paragraph 51

Amerika did not appear to have affected public opinion either of Communism or of the former Soviet Union.

Because of its merely average ratings performance, however, Amerika brought an end to the " epic " miniseries featured on American television in the 1970s and 1980s.

Later productions were generally much shorter in length, with the notable exception of the 30-hour War and Remembrance the following year.
