I enjoyed watching this as a mini-series in "78". I recorded it a couple of times but the quality was always poor.I bought it on VHS from Amazon and continue to enjoy it today.I cannot understand why it has not been released on DVD. It can only be because so few younger viewers would have known about it.I don't know how many more plays my tapes have in them so I hope that DVD version ia availiable soon.

I also am waiting for this to come out on disc. It doesn't look like it will be happening any time soon.

A Must-Have for any miniseries fan October 11, 2004

This was the miniseries that got me hooked on the genre. I was 11 years old when filming started on this epic in 1978 (took 2 years to complete and it was on location to boot. That's not done as much anymore for epics of this magnitude.) I grew up watching it on tape (had taped it off cable in the mid 80's) and wore the tapes out! Bought the VHS box set for my mom about 5 years ago for Christmas (she's also another Centennial fan) and we're about to wear those tapes out between the two of us. This has just GOT to come out on DVD soon.
I don't think I could add anything else to what others have already said, but if you haven't had the opportunity to see this masterpiece of historical fiction, you are really missing out. The characters are so well-defined, you can't help but get caught up in the events and people that shaped the town of Centennial. From Lame Beaver, the Arapaho warrior and his family and Pasquinel and Alexander McKeag (the first white men to arrive in the area along the South Platte river,) to the 1800's when people were moving westward in search of something more or just plain getting away (like Levi Zendt and his first wife, Ellie, who had been ostracized from a Mennonite community in Pennsylvania) and others who wanted adventure (like the British aspring adventurer-turned-rancher Oliver Seacombe,) they planted the seeds for the town which became Centennial. There are also many more memorable characters, too numerous to mention, reacting and surviving the changing times around them. This one has it all: great story, simply beautiful location, an outstanding ensemble cast, and historical facts blend together to create something really special.
So, with that said, let's get this one out on DVD!

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the UK to remember this excellent mini-series.
Nobody I've ever mentioned it to seems to remember it but I thought it was the best ever - along with Roots of course.
Will it ever come to DVD?
