See the existing thread on this subject HERE.
But the correct answer is obviously "Lonesome Dove" (1989).

Sybil, Bill, The Day After and God Bless the child were all pretty damn good too.

I saw a fantastic made for T.V. movie called Door To Door where William H. Macy puts on a spectular performance of a handicapped door to door salesman.

The earliest ones (all from the 1970s) I liked were the mystery "Banyon", with Robert Forster and Darren McGavin as perfect foils; the highly-intriguing religious allegory "Catholics" with Martin Sheen, Trevor Howard and Raf Vallone; "The Execution of Private Slovik" with Martin Sheen (again) as the only U.S. soldier executed for desertion since the Civil War; "QB VII", a terrific courtroom drama pitting Ben Gazzara against Anthony Hopkins in a trial about Nazi war criimes; the hilarious, British "The Naked Civil Servant" with an awesome John Hurt performance as Quentin Crisp; "Tail Gunner Joe" with a bravura Peter Boyle as Joseph McCarthy; and there are many others, but I'll add some more later on.
P.S. One of the most entertaining mini-series I've ever watched on TV was "Captains and the Kings" where Richard Jordan turned in a mind-bogglingly intense performance.

OK, I remembered three more. "Pueblo" was an awesome film; "The Missiles of October" probably contains William Devane's best performance plus it has Marty Sheen again, and then, moving on up to the 1980s, "Special Bulletin" is like the second coming of Orson Welles' "The War of the Worlds".

The Day After skeert the dawg out of me when it came on in 1983. I had already read this book thoroughly after I had found it in our library at home.
I began stockpiling crap at age 10 or 11 on my own, certain there was going to be a nuclear war. I couldn't sleep for nights after watching the Day After.

Salem's Lot would be the first one off the top of my head.

I enjoyed Abominable more than most theatrical releases yet alone tv movies. It felt like the return of the classic creature feature. It was like Rear Window with Sasquatch which sounds like a laughable idea, but I had a great time watching it.
