tell this day that movie never gets old. i dont know how many times i saw that on vh1.

thanks ethemer

It was made specifically to air on television and was never intended for theatrical release. It was never a weekly series. It is sometimes referred to as a "mini-series", but that's a misleading term. A mini-series is just a long movie that is shown in two or more parts, typically over consecutive days within one week. American Dream was about 4 hours long, so they split it up and aired it over 2 days.

so it was a movie first ? then a tv series ? something like that ? or the other way around ? oh please enlightened me

thanks

The movie was made-for-TV and first aired in the U.S. on November 15, 1992.
