I was in 7th grade (13 years old) in January of 1977 when I watched this for the 1st time. Since then, Ive watched it several times from beginning to end. It never gets old. Each episode of the series is fantastic. I just finished the 3rd episode tonight, actually. It's the episode Kunta Kinte married Belle and she gave birth to Kizzy. A very heart felt episode, for sure. I know they made a remake of this series, but I have no desire to watch it. Nothing can ever compare to the original. Fantastic casting and fantastic acting all around. Definitely, worthy of 10 out of 10 stars. I knew from the first time watching Levar Burton, he was destined for a lasting and successful acting career. Such a talented guy.
