How about a Silmariliom mini series? For Hallmark? Hallmark gets as close to the books as they can get.

I don't know about a Silmarillion mini series, I've always thought an LOTR mini series would be neat. Maybe one could make a mini series on the Sil, it might not get much ratings since there are definately not as many Tolkien readers as Orli fans, but I think it would be interesting, The Sil has a lot more "action" you might put it, but I think remembering the names, and lineage would just get too confusing, you can get confused by even reading it.

As for the LOTR mini series, this is what I thought would be neat, it would be based solely on the books, so you will have of course the book people watching it, yet now with PJ's movie it has dragged in more "orli fans" to read Tolkien so now they will see a mini series based on the books. I mean one with nothing cut out, no people, no events, no places cut out. So now people wouldn't have to fear the big 1000 page book and could see it in front of them, and would be getting the "knowledge of the books" something one couldn't get from the movies (no matter how good the movies were).
