It's as much fun spotting the then unknown future stars among the extras as it is watching the episodes themselves. My only objection is the brevith of the indivigual episodes. This is a great series, well written and with great actors. Apparently a good bit of the stock was lost over the years, because none of the episodes seem to last more than 15v to 18 minutes.
that you realize you never saw in the episode you just watched. The acting and story lines are great. "Clerk", "Bartender", etc). In this episode a cattleman driving a herd of cattle intends to kill the local town's sheriff and tear up the town. In addition, when you look at the ending credits you will often find a character listed (i.e. We never learn why he is so mad at the sheriff or town and thus the motivations of the characters and overall plot are total mysteries.But the disks are worth it anyway as this is too good of a show to miss. Then you realize that was a character from a scene that was cut out.I've watched most of the first disk and some of the episodes on disks 2 & 3.
Once of the episodes on the first disk was edited so badly that the plot line is incomprehensible. This is a great Western TV show that I enjoyed watching as a child. The editing is often terribly done too - it is usually very obvious where the cuts were made. I agree with all the other superlatives you can read in the other reviews.However, these are not the original full length shows; they are edited versions used for syndication. I estimate that there are about 4 to 5 minutes cut out of each episode of this 1/2 hour show. Each disk has a very nice special feature included on it.
This is good show. Love the old Westerns. They don't make good shows like this any more. It's a shame. It has quite a few now famous actors just making the Hollywood scene.
They don't make them like this anymore. I love it. This one is now part of my PERMANENT collection.
They appear to have original commercials edited out as well as some period of regular episode footage. Almost all episodes have some part of the plot missing. This series has some great lessons and depicts an historical time period. Will and Jeff talk about their conversation or some part of the episode that is not there in the edited version on these discs. Overall good stories, but you sometimes have to deduce the missing parts to make sense of the remaining story. However, most of the episodes suffer from too much editing. I would buy this series again only if the entire episodes were present.
