	Centennial, Colorado Review @ 209.197.89.145 () (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Centennial was incorporated from portions of unincorporated Arapahoe County in 2001.
		Similarly, Centennial Airport, formerly Arapahoe County Airport, lies adjacent to, but outside of the city limits; it is not named after the city, as it predates it by over 30 years.
		Centennial's boundaries are highly irregular and evocative of a gerrymander, particularly eastern portions of the city which appear with Foxfield, portions of Aurora, and unincorporated areas as a distorted checkerboard on a map.

	Centennial Vols 1-12 - Universal Studios (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.
		Centennial, however, largely concentrates on various memorable frontiersmen, trappers, Indians, ranchers, cowboys, and farmers from long ago.
		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.

	Centennial Vols 1-12 VHS
		I have always enjoyed watching "Centennial," the magnificance of the miniseries being what it was at the time, and the $25 million that was spent on the making of this series was WELL spent.
		Centennial is truly a memorable film, especially the first few episodes (which remain my favorites.) If you love westerns, epics, Colorado, or just enjoy a good film series then this is definitely for you.
		This miniseries largely shaped my strong views about Native Americans, including the way white settlers treated them, the muddled policies the US government held concerning them, and the shame of the degraded lifestyle forced on many of them today.

		Their time was the '70s and '80s with mega-productions such as “Rich Man, Poor Man,” “Holocaust,” “Centennial,” “Shogun,” “Lonesome Dove” and of course “Roots.” The miniseries allows for stories of depth and complexity not possible within the confines of the traditional half-hour or hour-long TV series.
		Many miniseries are based on best-selling novels, and the novelist’s name is often attached to the project as a selling point (“Stephen King’s ‘The Langoliers,’” “Armistead Maupin’s ‘Tales of the City’”).
		Miniseries are usually part of a network’s strategy for the television season.

		Above all, Centennial is the story of the trappers, the traders, the homesteaders, the gold-seekers, the ranchers, the hunters - all caught up in the dramatic events and violent conflicts that founded, and ravaged, and built the West.
		Critics note that Michener does this well with Centennial in that, even though there are countless characters, each is introduced as a minor character in a previous episode so the reader has some sense of who the character is before his or her particular story is introduced, adding to its dramatic effect.
		Centennial’s popularity can also be partly attributed to the publicity the book received, though this publicity might not be entirely disconnected from the fact that Michener was already a fruitful and popular writer.

		I think this miniseries, which followed two families involved in alien abductions across several generations, will go a long way to reminding viewers and those who make TV programs that this is the best use of the miniseries form, not the special effects-laden series that had taken it over.
		Even though it was too long, something with the length and breadth of this miniseries makes for something special, and gives viewers a reason to tune in.

		The “Taken” miniseries fits in with the Sci-Fi Channel’s aggressive ramping up of its annual programming budget, from $60 million in 1998 to a projected $90 million in 1999 and a projected $120 million in 2000.
		"As a 20-hour miniseries, the project can give us the opportunity to involve viewers in a way that combines the narrative scope of movies with the luxury of unfolding that adventure over a much longer period of time," Spielberg says in a statement.
