I guess it's a good thing that this iconic miniseries is being remade for a new generation, but I actually think the original has held up pretty well. Still, I suppose it's true that few people now have ever seen it, which is a shame. The new one looks "grittier," as you might expect, but the story of Kunta Kinte remains intact. The show is being produced by the original Kunta, LeVar Burton, and it starts Memorial Day, when it will air over four nights.
