On second thought, maybe they're still around, just gone to HBO, which I don't have.

I own a DVD copy of Centennial- my uncle and aunt gave it to me. Robert Conrad's atrocious French accent is one for the ages. And all the Indians look Italian. Oh, 1970's television. You truly will never come again.

My mom didn't let me stay up to watch any of the big miniseries from the 1970s/early 1980s, so I haven't seen them. Even Roots.

It is a television art form that seems to have faded- two-night things are now considered miniseries. And a full season of television can be 12 episodes, which was as long as Centennial was!
