I just got the DVD's of Centennial (the mini series) this weekend and have had a watching festival. (its 6 dvds rougly 3.5 hrs per disc) I remember watching this on TV when it was first aired. While I remembered Andy Griffith having a small part at the end of the last episode I didn't remember James Best in it. He has a small part as a helicopter pilot who is at a trial of another character in the last episode also. For those not familiar with this show it is about a fictional town in Colorado and covers from the early 1700's (which is before the town even exists) up to the 1970's. The book, which I picked up many years later in a half price book store, is much greater in detail and covers the history of the area from pretty much the beginning of time up to the 1970's. The very beginning is the best part with the story of the lives of Trappers Pasquinel and McKeag. By the time you get to the end and are seeing the great grandchildren (and beyond) of the original characters it is easy to get lost about who is a decendent of who. Overall a great story tho.
