	Filmtracks: Amerika (Basil Poledouris)
		Amerika: (Basil Poledouris) Extremely controversial for its time, it is difficult to look back upon Amerika and imagine that a considerable portion of the American public viewed the television series as one of realistic possibilities.
		Rather, the point of the series was to concentrate on the average American's reaction to the post-war occupation a full ten years after the initial invasion.
		Thus, along with the noted cinematography of the series, one of Poledouris' objectives was to provide a score that would maintain a consistency between the chapters of the series.

	Amerika
		Tom Shales of The Washington Post wrote in December 1996 that Amerika "Could be the hottest political potato in the history of television." It was produced by ABC Circle Films, and written and directed by Donald Wrye, who was also executive producer.
		This series depicted life as imagined in the United States in the late 1990s, ten years after the Soviet Union took control of America employing a Russian controlled UN peace-keeping force.
		Some have contended that Amerika was produced to provide a television counter to the controversial ABC movie The Day After, which depicted nuclear holocaust between the U.S. and Russia in 1983.

		Amerika knows that the culture of global capitalism is the all-too-legitimate heir of modernist aesthetics.
		Amerika the "techno-shaman" does the same, knowing that commodification as a celebrity is the form that such prestige takes in the world today.
		Amerika’s work is not subversive, in the ways that modernist art was once supposed to be.

	Amerika (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amerika – suggesting a Russian name for the United States – was an American television miniseries that was broadcast in 1987.
		The standard American flag is outlawed, although one scene early in the series shows a group of war veterans marching with the old American flag upside down, this being intended as a distress signal.
		Amerika has remained unseen on American television since its original telecast on ABC, possibly because its politics quickly became dated over the next few years with the breakup of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the reunification of Germany; perhaps also because it was not as popular as other miniseries.

	Pamela Sue Martin :: Strong Medicine
		His next TV series was Step by Step, a "retro" sitcom co-starring Suzanne Somers that ran from 1991 through 1994.
		His TV specials remained popular in the ratings, and it was this fact that led to the debut of The New Dick Van Dyke Show in 1971.
		One exception may be Cross' acceptance of the role of centuries-old vampire Barnabas Collins in the failed 1991 revival of the cult-favorite TV series Dark Shadows.

	Miniseries
		If the distinction is maintained between "series" (describing a group of self-contained episodes) and "serial" (a group of interconnected episodes), the term "miniseries" is an acknowledged misnomer, for the majority of broadcast material presented in the genre is in fact produced in serial form.
		The actual number of episodes which differentiate a miniseries from a "regular" series or serial is a matter of dispute.
		Given the condensed period of broadcasting it is important to attract viewers at the first opportunity, for unlike a continuous serial or seasonal series, the miniseries cannot accrue an audience over an extended period.

	Amerika (television mini-series)
		A United Nations-like flag was frequently displayed in the series.
		This flag was sky blue, with a white United Nations emblem located between an American flag (minus the stars in the canton) and a Soviet flag.
		It was never clear whether this was the future flag of the United Nations (unlikely, given that the series assumed that the U.S. had ceased to exist as an independent country) or the flag of the Soviet-led, U.N. peacekeeping force stationed in the former United States.

	FILM and VIDEO CATALOG - Avant-Garde works by Al Razutis
		AMERIKA is a "feature-length experimental film which was created one reel at a time to function as a mosaic that expresses the various sensations, myths, landscapes of the industrialized Western culture (1960's -1980's) through the eyes of media-anarchism and avant-garde techniques." (AR)
		A two-part voyage: the first through the ruins of Amerika, culminating in a voyeuristic stalking of a 'victim'.
		'AMERIKA': a culture of voyeurism and violence taken to the extreme...beyond what academics can 'ponder' and theorize with all of their own 'subjectivities, this is the stage where pathology becomes Nixon-era 'entertainment'...'tell me it ain't so'.

	Heavenly Celebrities: Lara Flynn Boyle
		While she was still in her sophomore year, Lara received her first casting call, for the TV miniseries Amerika.
		This role has often been cited as her big break, and, while there is no doubt that it spring-boarded her career to another level, at the time it also served to typecast her to a certain degree.
		Despite the fact that hers was perhaps the most normal of the Twin Peaks characters, a great number of the roles that followed shared in the same dark, quirky tone that had marked Lynch's series, such as that of the psychotic temp in 1993's The Temp.

	Amerika (tv) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the series, the U.S. had been broken up into ten or so "administrative regions" - essentially groupings of states destined to become separate countries (i.e., California and Nevada comprised the "California Special District"; Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia comprised "Appalachia," and so forth).
		The general design of the flags for these regions seemed to be a dark blue field with a golden-yellow map of the states in the region in the center; and the name of the region towards the bottom in gold letters.
		The series referred to an organization called the "American Unity Party." A scene shot in the office of a local party official showed a yellow banner with a red border and a fl scales-of-justice design in the center above the fl words "American Unity Party."

		The fact that nobody liked his second film two years later and that it took another three years before television beckoned with a series is the typical fate of a gifted filmmaker in Germany: high praise - followed by nothing at all.
		It was only twelve years after Kolp, though, that Richter returned with A Fortnight To Life to the place where he had first begun his career.

		The storm over Amerika has all but demolished any chance that the mini- series, when it finally reaches the screen, will be judged on its own merits.
		Its political implications aside, Amerika is the sort of project that network TV seldom tries and even more seldom achieves: a thought-provoking epic.
		Written and directed by Donald Wrye, whose previous TV movies include Born Innocent and Death Be Not Proud, the series plunks us into the middle of a small Nebraska community (much of the film was shot near Lincoln) and a cross section of citizens trying to cope with their repressive new society.
