The difference between series and miniseries seems to be diminishing in US, especially since the strikes a couple years ago, when networks seem more keen to produce a half-season at a time (or less: I hear The Walking Dead's first season will be a mere 6 episodes) -- or just to structure a full season as two half-season stories.
I think they have the right idea with Game of Thrones: one season per novel seems about right for those books. I have no idea how faithful other book-to-tv adaptations -- Dexter, True Blood, No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and so forth -- are, but one novel per season/miniseries seems right.
