CENTENNIAL

Is anyone else enjoying this replay of Centennial like I am? For one thing, it's a treat to watch it with no commercial breaks since it's on the Western channel on Encore, for two, it's like seeing it for the first time after all these years, surprising since I was in my late twenties when it was on originally, but now, thinking about it, I realize it was on on one of my Bingo nights.
Anyway, thank goodness I have the "record 4 things" option on my DVR because I get so involved in Centennial, that I just let the other stuff just be recorded, and watch the next day. Speaking of that, those of you who retire early at night and don't stay awake long enough to see it, it is repeated the following morning.
The only problem I have with it is, this is before we awakened to what a lousy thing we did to the American Indian and he was still being put in a bad light when this was filmed, rather than the understanding we have today.
The filming of the scenery is marvelous, and the acting is quite top notch, although it's amusing to see some of the actors so young and nowadays they are playing grandfather parts, if they're not already passed on. Mark Harmon was a real cutie then as was Gregory Harrison and a few others. In all, it was a very entertaining mini-series. It's odd how instead of an actual mini-series, we now have regular weekly shows like Scandal which has a continuing story through-out the whole season.
I'm sure it will probably be on On Demand sometime next month after all of the episodes have been shown just as they did with North and South a while ago. Catch it if you can, you might please yourself and see how network acting was down back 30 years ago.
