DVD Review: Extraordinary Saga
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly beautiful story. Well told, well acted, beautifully produced. I had seen it years ago when it appeared as a TV mini series. It left haunting memories that I've carried for years. It's wonderful to revisit this story now that it's out on DVD. It give you a strong sense of place.DVD Review: Centennial DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
AT LAST! AT LAST! The mini-series that captured my heart in the late 70s and subconsciously motivated me to move to Colorado - in the very setting that Michener based his novel - is available on DVD. Thank you Lord!
Truly a tale of westward expansion and America at its best and worst, CENTENNIAL is both a novel and a video series worth adding to your collections, and consuming over and over and over... I've done both and will definitely read and view this saga again. The combination of Michener's story with the excellent character portrayals filmed in and around the place I now call home, plus my own family's history, inspired me to write. I am, and will remain, forever grateful. This is a DVD set everyone who loves history and the American West should own.

Description of Centennial: The Complete Series
Journey to the Wild West in the sweeping, sensational epic drama Centennial: The Complete Series! Relive the grand hopes, dreams, loves, and adventures of generations of residents in Centennial, Colorado - from their risky attempts to establish a settlement in 1795 through the politics and power plays of the 20th century. With over 26 TV hours of content on DVD for the first time, this incredible set gives fans the opportunity to own the complete chronicle that showcases one of the finest casts ever assembled, including Richard Chamberlain, Robert Conrad, Timothy Dalton, Mark Harmon, Andy Griffith, Raymond Burr, Dennis Weaver, Lynn Redgrave, Sharon Gless, Stephanie Zimbalist, Sally Kellerman and many more. Based on James Michener's best-selling novel, this Primetime Emmy?Award-nominated saga is a captivating look at the intertwining lives of the brave men and women in a fictional American town that endured the growing pains of a nation on the rise.A remarkably ambitious and engrossing project, this 1978 television miniseries ran 26-and-a-half hours, cost a then-enormous $25 million, and involved 4 directors, 5 cinematographers, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 speaking parts. Based on James Michener's panoramic bestseller about the settling of the American West--as reflected in the history of a fictional town called Centennial, Colorado--the story begins in the late 18th century and ends with a typical 20th century conflict over land usage. Centennial, however, largely concentrates on various memorable frontiersmen, trappers, Indians, ranchers, cowboys, and farmers from long ago. Richard Chamberlain shines as the pioneer Alexander McKeag, Robert Conrad does some of his best work as French-Canadian Pasquinel, and performances by Alex Karras, Chad Everett, Sally Kellerman, Raymond Burr, Richard Crenna, David Janssen, and Dennis Weaver effectively add to a tapestry of adventure, tragedy, violence, and dubious Western progress. Produced at a time when TV networks were in the throes of acknowledging America's history of racial injustice, the program paints a starkly villainous portrait of opportunists exploiting and destroying Indians in the name of manifest destiny. While the project's great length might make one wary of diving in, Centennial is the sort of carefully paced drama that makes one care about the intertwined destinies of unique characters and how they illuminate America's past. --Tom Keogh
