Summary: Western Fans
Comment: This mini-series was good and held our attention. We were always ready to watch the next episode. Last one was not what we were expecting. Was there a sequel? Other than that one episode it was interesting, fun to watch and for the most part worth what we paid for it.

Summary: Greatest opening of the American west epic ever.
Comment: Great story. Great subject for me. Great actors perfectly cast.
Not to be confused with the old Cinerama hit How The West Was Won. That was fun and all hollywood. Worth seeing too.
Centennial, the book by James Michener, begins in the late 1700s with a Canadian trapper on the Platte River. Concludes in 1978, the year the series was released, in the town of Centennial, Colorado.
I first bought the series in VHS many years ago. (It's for sale cheap.) Wondering what took them so long to put it on DVD. Conrad and Chamberlain bring wonderful unforgettable characters to life. But the standout for me was Alex Karras, a former pro football player.
It gets a bit preachy about what were doing with the environment at the end, but well worth the look.
And a six disc, 12 hour series at $40, can't beat it. Other sites are charging more. The 1st set I received was defective. Amazon promptly replaced it.
Largely based on facts that we know occured. If you find the push into the American west interesting, or you want to learn what happened, this is for you. The frontier, settlers, American Indians, the railroad, cattle and sheep ranches, farmers, merchants, forts, and soldiers. It's all there. Following the many generations of two families from canoes and wagons to the town of Centennial. When your done watching, you'll want to try and find the town on a map.
And, oh yeah, I recommend it.
