    This miniseries was so riveting, so much a part of our past. It made you feel a part of each character's life and it made you feel as if you were there. It is the history of how this country was forged and everyone should see it.

      Great look at life in early America.Colorado Territory

    It's a great representation of Early America and the settling of the vast West. It's stories are with fictional characters but could have happened and are very factual in how things proceeded in building the West from start to present. You will enjoy this series even if you didn't feel drawn to history in school.

    Filmed and storied in Colorado Territory, a mini-series of 12 episodes, it makes you feel a part of it as it leads you from the start of the West to the present.

    It reminds us of home, having spent 45 years of our lives in Colorado and adjoining areas. Cost of this great series was prohibitive to us in the past, but now we can afford to own it for our own. Thanks to Ebay and Half.com.

    We will watch it over and over again, keeping it to pass down to the next generation. I would like to have it on DVD eventually. It's that good!

      VHS quality but complete unabridged uncut version
    Review created: 08/13/08

    Centennial shows a complete story from beginning to end.

    It is on VHS.
    Although there was a recent DVD release (Aug 2008)
    That DVD version has changed, shortened and cut the original series.
    The VHS version is the complete uncut version.

    Yes its in VHS/VCR quality
    but a big plus in its complete uncut entireity, if your new to this series then quite possibly the compact smaller DVD set would do nicely or if you remember the original series when it aired or want to see the original series, go for the VHS version.
