Wagon Train, The Complete Color Season

THE CASE FOR WAGONTRAIN
There was a time back in the 1950s and '60s when primetime network programming relied so much on Westerns that nearly every night of the week featured at least one. While some rode off into the sunset without much ado, one of the best, and longest-running, "Wagon Train," set the bar for style and authenticity that few other Western series ever achieved.

This DVD set, all 3,900 minutes of it, presents the 1963 season -- all 32 90-minute episodes filmed in color, as well as 16 classic episodes (black and white) from the series' other seven seasons. The show, based on the legendary John Ford Western feature film "Wagon Master," starred Ward Bond (who reprised his role from the Ford film), John McIntire, Robert Horton, Robert Fuller, Frank McGrath, Terry Wilson, Denny Scott Miller and Michael Burns. Each week the show told the stories of a wagon train heading west from Missouri to California in the days following the Civil War.

What set the series apart from many of...

FABULOUS
Beautifully remasters and the interviews were wonderful. So many fond days came back of all those great old tv westerns of yesteryear. The old time belief that they were too violent, geez, they are mild compared with the stuff they show on tv. These were tame, taught good lessons and it's a shame more of them are not available to show to our children and grandchildren. The days of the westerns seem to be over, what a loss and shame, but thank goodness to such people as those at Timeless to bring back those gold old westerns. I wish I could list a bunch more I'd love to see to share with my family. I'm glad I lived through that magical period, tv was worth watching back then.
