No way in hell. If they ever try to remake this series, I swear on my hair, I will picket and protest.

And whoa, just read the wiki, I didn't know there were FOUR followup mini-series!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome_Dove

After the novel won the Pulitzer Prize, the idea of turning the novel into film came up again. Both John Milius and John Huston each attempted to adapt the novel into a feature film before Suzanne De Passe and McMurtry decided to adapt the novel as a mini-series. It was then made into the four-part TV miniseries, which won seven Emmy Awards and was nominated for twelve others.[2] It spawned four follow-up miniseries, Return to Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo, Dead Man's Walk, and Comanche Moon, and two television series, Lonesome Dove: The Series and Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years.[3]

I guess it was Streets of Laredo that I saw 3 or 4 years ago when it came on TV. But yeah, nothing beats the original.
