A miniseries titled ‘Centennial’ was aired on NBC from October 1978 to February 1978. It is a 12-episode American television miniseries and is based on the novel of the same name by James A. Michener. It was a production of John Wilder. The storyline of this miniseries follows the history of a imaginary town of Centennial, Colorado from the late 18th century to the 1970s.

It stars actors worth-naming including Raymond Burr, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Conrad, Barbara Carrera, Richard Crenna, Timothy Dalton, Sharon Gless, Andy Griffith, Mark Harmon, Gregory Harrison, David Janssen, Alex Karras, Brian Keith, Sally Kellerman, Stephen McHattie, Lois Nettleton, Donald Pleasence, Lynn Redgrave, Clive Revill, Robert Vaughn, Dennis Weaver, Anthony Zerbe, Stephanie Zimbalist, and numerous other well-known actors.

The time in hours that this miniseries was aired, coupled with commercials, calculated to 26.5 hours, which is the longest time any miniseries has taken to broadcast, also, the most go-getting television projects ever tried at the time.

It had a then huge budget of US$25 million (about $80 million in modern terms), employed four directors and five cinematographers, and featured over 100 speaking parts spanning 26 hours of television viewing time[1]. Centennial was released on DVD on July 29, 2008.

The story begins in the mid-18th century among the Indian tribes of what is now northern Colorado. A young Arapaho boy named Lame Beaver (Michael Ansara) grows up during this period. After an unaided aid on a rival tribe, he becomes a grand warrior and brings horses to the Arapaho for the first time, which helps them to turn out to be a part of the Great Plains horse culture. At the end of the 18th century, Lame Beaver's band is camped along the South Platte River, and they begin to encounter white trappers for the first time.

One such trapper is Pasquinel (Robert Conrad), a French Canadian fur trader who has gone out to the Rocky Mountains to trade for beaver pelts. Pasquinel and Lame Beaver land up with a disagreement with one another in the dead of night, with knives ready. But Pasquinel drops his weapon to show trust, and the two become good friends. Lame Beaver comes to see great courage and honor within this white man, and so trades pelts with him for French trinkets.

However, the beaver bombards that Pasquinel gained from the Arapaho, as well as his remaining trade goods, are stolen. The theft occurs when Pasquinel is attacked and left for dead by members of the Pawnee tribe, even though he had promised their chief a gun if he were allowed to cross their lands safely. He is saved by Cheyenne warriors, and manages to track down the rogue Pawnee just as they are about to trade his pelts.

Pawnee is murdered by the traders, but they expose themselves as no more than river pirates. The river pirates also steal the pelts and further wound Pasquinel.
