AMC celebrates 20th anniversary of ‘Lonesome Dove’ with special airing June 13-14 (2009)
Twenty years ago, CBS broadcast a
television miniseries adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning western novel “Lonesome Dove.” It won seven Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.
Saturday and Sunday, AMC is going to broadcast a restored widescreen version of the eight-hour miniseries starring Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Jones, Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston and Diane Lane. It will air from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (or watch it from start to finish from 3 to 11 p.m. Sunday).
The 20th anniversary airing will also include extra content and footage of “Lonesome Dove,” which takes viewers through a story of the last defiant frontier, a daring cattle drive, and an undying love. And interspersed throughout the eight hours, Jones will speak about his time filming the western.
“There were things that were physically demanding. There were things that were emotionally demanding. There were things that were logistically demanding,” Jones says. “I loved every minute of it. I look for a good script, good company and a beautiful place to work. ‘Lonesome Dove’ certainly fulfilled all of that many times over.”
