'The Bible' is an epic five-week, 10-hour television mini-series premiering March 3, 2013 on the History Channel (120 on Dish Network) from Emmy-Award winning husband and wife team, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. For two hours each Sunday night (8:00 - 10:00 pm EST), millions of viewers will see the Bible come to life in a way never before seen. The final episode of the series will air on Easter Sunday [March 31] and will feature the death and resurrection of Jesus. To help ensure the accuracy of the miniseries, many Christian scholars served as advisors and hundreds of Christian leaders have given their endorsement.
"In terms of importance, nothing we've ever done, not Touched By An Angel, not Survivor, not
The Voice, not The Apprentice, none of this could possibly compare to ???The Bible???," Burnett says.
This is not a TV show to us. Its images, sound and sacred text that people will still watch, way
after our grandchildren are old people." Famed television producer Mark Burnett tackles his
projects with passion, but The Bible is a special labor of love.
The 10-hour, five-part docudrama will span the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, presenting some
of its best-known stories, including Noah's Ark, the Exodus, Daniel in the lions' den and the crucifixion
and resurrection of Jesus.
Former Touched By An Angel star Roma Downey, Burnett's wife and fellow executive producer, heads
a large international cast in the role of Mother Mary. Keith David, an Emmy winner for voice-over
performances, will narrate with a musical score by Oscar-and-Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer.
Since the entire Bible can't be covered in 10 hours, the miniseries, which was filmed in Morocco, focuses
on a select group of stories and features such compelling figures as Abraham, Moses and David. Some
stories had to be compressed for artistic purposes.

I just cancelled my satellite, so I don't have TV anymore! The History Channel's website says they often upload full videos online. Hopefully, this will be the case for the Bible miniseries.

So did anyone else see the first episode?
I liked it, and I liked that they spent so much time on Abraham's story, although they did leave out the trip to Egypt and the name changes.

I haven't seen it, but apparently so many other people watched it that it even beat the Big Four networks in terms of ratings.
It's highly unusual for a cable (or satellite) TV broadcast to even come close to the same viewership as the free, mainstream television... but "The Bible" even beat "60 Minutes." Now that's impressive!
I'm curious to see if the miniseries continues the trend. If so, this could be the makings of a new classic that is a "must have" for anyone's library.
