DVD Reviews of Centennial: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Still Wort Watching
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the Centennial Series is over twenty years old it is still worth watching. The series though fictional is based loosely on historical facts and contains many fine actors of the time. I throughly enjoyed watching it again. My wife, who had never watched it also enjoyed very much.DVD Review: Only the Rocks Live Forever.....
Summary: 5 Stars
... but thanks to DVD, great TV doesn't have to die! There's not much more I can add to the other positive reviews here except to reaffirm that this is some of the greatest television ever created. Although some of the cinematography may seem dated (well it was the 1970's lol) - Centennial is still an excellent example of what quality TV can be. I suggest taking a few nights - maybe one weekend night a week for 2-3 weeks to watch the series. See it with people who've never seen it - you may actually see things you didn't see before. Highly recommend this one!DVD Review: Centennial Comments

This series is an exceptional look at history as they saw it and is very well done. I have seen it several times and never tire of it.DVD Review: Centennial: The Complete Series
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional production. I was particularly impressed and attracted to the character studies including Pasquinale, McKeag, Clay Basket, Levi Zendt, Skimmerhorn, Oliver Seccombe, and others. The characters were presented in depth with attributes and faults. The acting was incredible: Robert Conrad, Lynn Redgrave, Greg Harrison, Anthony Zerbe, and Timothy Dalton gave the best performances I have seen from them. True, the last episodes were somewhat of a characature compared to the historical episodes, but that seems to represent human nature. (It is easier to judge an historical figure after his / her death than to make such judgements on a living person.) I am very pleased to have purchased this series. It was much more than my memory of it and something I will watch again and again.DVD Review: centennial the DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
I have only viewed the 1st 2 discs of this "complete" set of 6 discs. There are several important scenes from the original movie that are missing!! Not sure why, but I am returning the set and going to order the vhs version of the movie.
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.System Requirements:Running Time: 1252 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?025195031776 Manufacturer No:?61103921A 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
