Several years ago, the late Wally Schirra hosted a mini-series about space (or about the Apollo astronauts) on TBS that I would love to be able to find again....but I've forgotten the actual title of the mini-series. 

Does anyone know what mini-series it is/was that Schirra hosted that I'm referring to and (more importantly) where I can find a copy if one is available??

Thanks a bunch for any help that you can give me!

Take Care,
Tony Trout

TBS made "Moon Shot" in 1994, but Schirra wasn't the host.

'Moonshot' was a very good show. I used to have it on Laserdisc more than 20 years ago but when that player died, I sold all my discs. It should have been remastered and released on DVD or Blu-Ray long ago!! I know there was a multi-part documentary series hosted by Wally Schirra sometime in the late 80s or early 90s. I probably videotaped it but I have no idea where those tapes are anymore.

IMDB info for Wally Schirra
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0771989/

Edit: possibly not what you wanted, but I still thought it was interesting that Schirra had a IMDB entry.   :)

That's it!  "Moon Shot" was the title!  Thanks so much for "stirring the cobwebs" in my brain and helping me to remember. 

I'll definitely try to pick up a copy of that ASAP!
