DVD Reviews of Centennial: The Complete Series

DVD Review: Love at first sight!
Summary: 5 Stars

When I first saw this series years ago I loved it. I have always wished it would come out on DVD so I could own it myself. It finally did! This is an excellent series with lots of action, heartbreak, and a chronological history of the settling of America. Don't pass this one up!

DVD Review: Great drama
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent mini-series. Convincing acting and good directing. Favorite segments are the first and the one titled "Longhorns." Definitely a 5-star ranking, however the last installment of the series is a disappointment: too preachy, bad screenplay, poor direction and acting.

DVD Review: Great dvd's
Summary: 5 Stars

Havbing had the VHS set of the series I ordered the dvd set because of space and technical issues the dvd set.
The quality of these dvd is great, I would call it digitally remastered. And the size fits perfectly the book shelf
And the content it self is a masterpiece of american history.

DVD Review: Early America before Lewis and Clark
Summary: 5 Stars

This series was on TV back in the late 70s and I remembered how much I enjoyed it. Now, my children (all with families) are watching and enjoying it as much as I did. Great story line and beautiful scenery!

DVD Review: Centennial
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the best movies ever made with fantastic actors and a truly riveting look at our nation's history. This is a "must have" in anybody's movie collection.

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
