Summary: A True Depiction of America's Western History
Comment: I too had this on VHS for many years and was thrilled when it became available on DVD. I've watched it countless times and never grow tired of it. Undoubtably it's the best mini-series ever made, and all the James Michener books are a good lesson in history. He, himself, was a true American treasure. This film has a cast of characters you will always remember.

Summary: Michner's Classic in DVD
Comment: James Michner's classic shines in its new DVD format. I had purchased the series in VHS format a number of years ago and was delighted to see it now in DVD format. A truly great miniseries with an equally great cast of stars.

Summary: Fabulous Series!
Comment: Although I've had this series in VHS tapes for years, I pre-ordered the DVD version as soon as it was available for ordering and could hardly wait to get it. The wait was totally worth it! The quality of the picture on the DVD version is awesome, especially when compared with the VHS tapes.

The story takes place in a fictional location in Colorado and the scenery is magnificient. The acting is very well done; of course, anything with Robert Conrad, Richard Chamberlain and Vanessa Redgrave, just to name a few, is bound to be good. The series covers virtually every aspect of the West, from the earliest traders, to the settlers, the cowboys, the cattle barons and the farmers, together with the conflict between the two ways of lift, to the immigrants and the tragic fate of many of the American Indians, with a little mystery thrown in to carry the story forward to the present (or at least the present when the film was shot).

I love this series and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves movies about the history of the settlement of the West or anyone who loves Lonesome Dove.

Summary: CENTENNIAL - THE COMPLETE SERIES (DVD)
Comment: In my opinion this work is one of the all time best. Michener's genius cannot be denied. If you were like me - and watched the original - you could not wait for it to be re-released. I placed my order almost a year before distribution date.

This DVD series does not disappoint. One of the greatest epics ever produced. Tremendous cast of actors. There is a portion of one DVD which contains interviews with the main actors discussing the "making of".

If you care about the origins of our country and the people who first blazed the trails for the rest of our ancestors to follow --you will want to own and watch this (over and over).

I can guarantee you will never regret the addition of this work to your video library. A MUST SEE AND A MUST HAVE.
