I recently had an arguement with a friend on the movie and mini-series Shogun (1980). I am under the impression that the Movie (125mins) was a subset of the Series. I checked IMDB but it didn't help because it doesn't tell the length of the series, just says that it has ten 60-minute episodes. In addition, I don't know what the TV-commercial culture was at that time, how many minutes commercials for 1 hour episode. Does anyone know anything about this?
I also am just curious... did they make a movie first and decide to continue a series from there? Or did they make the movie and the mini-series separately? Just curious. Thanks.
