1988 brought a third (fictional) entry: ''Roots: The Gift.'' This was a single two-hour side story, bringing back LeVar Burton as Kunta Kinte. As a piece of trivia, this film features a few actors who would be in ''Star Trek'' productions, just as Burton was. Avery Brooks ([[Star Trek Deep Space Nine|Captain Benjamin Sisko]]), Kate Mulgrew ([[Star Trek Voyager|Captain Kathryn Janeway]]), and Tim Russ ([[Star Trek Voyager|Lieutenant Tuvok]]).

* [[Arc Words]]: "(Name), behold! The only thing greater than yourself!"; in the later episodes, the story each generation of Kunta Kinte's family tells about their family tree.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: There is a somewhat obscure special called: ''Roots: The Gift'' that takes place between Parts 2 and 3 of the series that explains how Kunta and Fiddler moved to Reynolds's plantation.
* [[Big No]]/[[Say My Name]]: KUNTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
* [[
* [[Family Drama]]: Extended multigenerational.
* [[Generational Saga]]
* [[Hey
* [[I Die Free]]
* [[Inspired By]]: The earlier parts, before Chicken George are all fiction. There ''was'' a Kunta Kinte and a ''Lord Ligonier,'' but neither have a proven connection to Haley. The rest may have been altered here or there for the sake of drama.
