The Forsyte Saga--the riveting 1969 BBC series based on John Galsworthy's novels--popularized the miniseries and inspired PBS to launch Masterpiece Theatre. Now the Forsytes are back, with a new cast but the same tortured turn-of-the-century relationships--fathers disown, wives regret, fiances wander, and everyone lusts (PBS, Sundays at 9 p.m. ET, October 6 through November 17). Can't wait a week for the next episode? A three-DVD set will be available October 8. -Vicky Hallett
