Farscape was on SciFi in the late 90s when SciFi was still good. it was about an astronaut, John Crichton, who ended up going through a wormhole and ended up on the other side of the universe, on a living ship of escaped prisoners. and that's just the opening episode. it ran for four seasons and ended with a 2-part, 2-hour mini-series.

Dune is a huge epic (a) book series that the first book was made into (b) a movie and then (c) the first book was a mini-series; and books 2 and 3 were also mini-series on SciFi... when SciFi was good. it's a multi-planet 'verse that spans thousands of years, the first book, Dune, taking place in 10191 A.G. - After Guild (the Spacing Guild, that is). there's 6 books in the series by the original author, and then two more after by his son & a co-author. and there's a number of prequel trilogies, as well as 2 books that take place between the books of the original series.

... i might have all of 'em that are out so far. there's another one due out later this year, too.
