NBC (as well as ABC) were some of the networks considered to make a miniseries based on the book in the late 1980s, but the networks turned it down because they could not find a way to structure it as a two-night, four-hour miniseries.
In 1994, NBC finally aired the movie with a parental discretion warning due to its sensitive subject.
