The Godfather Saga[a] is a 1977 American television miniseries that combines The Godfather and The Godfather Part II into a single unified work. It originally aired on NBC over four consecutive nights (one three-hour episode and three two-hour episodes) in November 1977.
The television version was the basis for a few subsequent video releases. A shorter version of the miniseries was released in 1981. In 1990 a new release added additional scenes and reincorporated much of the footage added for television. Following the release of The Godfather Part III in 1990, a third unified version was released to video in 1992.
