Centennial: The Complete Series

Centennial, a miniseries based on Michener's book of the same name, is a sweeping saga of the American West and is, IMO, quite possibly the best miniseries ever put on film. The all-star cast doesn't disappoint, from Richard Chamberlain to Andy Griffith, and from Barbara Carrera to Sally Kellerman. The story is uniquely American, the cinematography makes the landscape another character in the tale, and the cast is like a necklace of many shining pearls. I enjoyed the series in it's original TV airing, on VHS when tapes were released, and now on DVD - a release I eagerly awaited. Don't miss this one.

This is indeed a fine example of the 1970's mini-series, even going as far as providing some deaths of the main characters which were not described in the book, like the death of Levi Zendt. Can't wait to get my copy, since TNT stopped showing it years ago!

This is the Greatest Saga of the western development for the United States every put on film. The story line is great, the acting is superb; it holds your interest for the entire viewing.

Arguably the finest lengthy TV series ever made, with an all-star cast, and a great story......historical fictional docu-drama. Sure wish it had been made in Hi-Def on a 16:9 format though.

I think it is one of the best movies of the early frontier to the present!
