All I can say is: It's about time Clint Walker's Cheyenne has come to DVD- too long a wait. All 3 episodes were very good picks. Top quality reproduction. I can tell they are all complete. A lot of people have forgotten in the series closing seasons, Cheyenne became "The Cheyenne Show" which first rotated Cheyenne one week and Bronco the next instead of them having their own weekly shows. Even Sugarfoot was added I believe in the final year. This DVD is great and I strongly suggest that complete seasons of this series be released onto DVD A.S.A.P. I rate this disc as a great sampler. Clint Walker has been well remembered by me as one of the top western heroes of the late "50's-'60's era, and the series western stories are timeless. Bring them on.
Tall guy has finally arrived....Please take a bow to the greatest western hero
Clint Walker with his broad shoulders did what no one could do resurrected Warner Bros and made me an avid western fan.In 1959 i bought a LP of TV westerns by Geoff Love and on the cover in the centre was a a big picture of a smiling clint surrounded in smaller sizes by other western actors like Horton,Arness,Lorne green,Fuller etc .Thats how popular and big he was.But yet what do we get a measly 3 episodes.I guess Warner bros is carrying on with the fight they had with Clint when he walked out of the show over the remuneration .Legitimate complete season shows have been released for Rifleman,Bonanza,Wanted Dead or Alive,Have gun will travel and even Lassie...But not for Cheyenne
I guess there are a few idiots in warners who may not understand the significance of Cheyenne.Cheyene starring clint is a Legendary status TV show .For heaven sakes and for the sake of the numerous fans give it it's due and also include a nice interview by clint.Give it a nice Box packing
and it is GUARANTEED to be a sellout.
Long live cheyenne and long live Clint Walker.
Just to let warner know how popular Clint is let me tell you that i am from India .Please also release Bronco with a larger number of episodes.Bye the way this a nice reproduction of the Black and white episodes from the fifties.
Disappointed Fan
I was a great fan of the "Cheyenne " series back in the 1950s and when I saw this DVD for sale I was quick to buy it.
Now I wish I had'nt. Sure the quality of transfer in sound and vision is very good and for what you pay it appears good value for money. Looking at other reviews on this site actually made up my mind to buy as all the reviews are good, but none of them mention what I set out below........
The DVD content offers poor value. First there are no Scene Selections, which O.K. you can live without, but what is really a crime is that all three episodes have about 15 minutes chopped out of them. One of the episodes is supposed to star Ty Hardin as "Bronco" but he is nowhere to be seen, even though his name appears in the credits, all his scenes have been cut and there is no mention of him the episodes. Unless you are a real avid fan of "Cheyenne" do not consider buying.
For me the savage cutting of these episodes has destroyed all pleasure of watching them. Warner Home Video does not deserve any sales of this DVD. If there are future episodes of "Cheyenne" I will not be buying them.
Another great western series that is long overdo for DVD release. The 3 episodes picked were very good and in top quality. However this series would be best sold in complete season sets like most other tv shows are being released today A.S.A.P. There are too many great episodes not to release them in seasons. I rate this disc as a great sampler. More Info about this DVD Director(s): Leslie H. Martinson - Howard W. Koch - Charles F.

The uniquely cool talent that propelled Steve McQueen to movie stardom is fully evident in the debut season of Wanted: Dead or Alive. Having just boosted his big-screen potential with a starring role in The Blob, 28-year-old McQueen was reluctant to accept the role of bounty hunter Josh Randall in this trend-setting series; he balked at the demanding schedule and thought himself too contemporary for a Western series, but the producers (including Four Star Productions cofounders Dick Powell and Ida Lupino) were convinced that McQueen was perfect for the role, and the still-struggling actor couldn't refuse a $750-per-week salary. Once committed, McQueen developed Randall into an antihero with conflicting qualities of danger and compassion: With his infamous "Mare's Leg" (an...

Episode for episode, the second season of Have Gun, Will Travel (1958-59) is even better than the first. With a bona fide hit on their hands, CBS didn't mess with success, and these 39 episodes pushed ratings even higher with sharp direction (mostly by first-season veteran Andrew V. McLaglen), a wide variety of attention-grabbing plots, and intelligent, sensible dialogue. All of the first season's strengths are carried over, and while 41-year-old star Richard Boone (as the refined gunslinger-for-hire Paladin) is rarely given a serious test of his talents, he commands his role with depth, humor, and impressive displays of physical agility. (By comparison, series regular Kam Tong had almost nothing to do this season; he's relegated to routine duty as Paladin's Chinese hotel valet...

I was around 10 years of age when this series ran on TV, and though I'm sure I did not see every episode I know I saw many of them. I'm glad that many DVDs are now coming out for us 'ole' TV western fans.
When I grew up in the fifties, 10-cent Saturday matinees abounded; with serials running in 12 parts or so. See one or two this Saturday and come back to the local Bijou next Saturday to see a couple more installments. After a couple of these on any given Saturday the theatre would then run a couple Rocky Lane, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, or Durango Kid feature westerns to round out your western Saturday late morning and early afternoon. It sure offered great babysitting for mom, too!
Now with the Western Channel and release of such DVDs as this one on Wyatt... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 27 September 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

This military frontier comedy classic never had a chance to wear out its welcome during its pair of seasons, one in glorious black and white, the other in color. LARRY STORCH, lovable ham that he was, stole every scene he was ever in (except maybe the ones with the HECKOWIS). KEN BERRY was the best "perfect fool" since ED WYNN, MELODY PATTERSON was a rawhide-wrapped sexpot, and FORREST TUCKER held it all together with his rugged charm. Even the second bananas, from inept bugler DOBBS to myopic VANDERBILT to "glory days" ratchet-jaw DUFFY added a lot to the merry mix. That's not even counting the roster of wonderful guest stars, such as PAT HARRINGTON (as B. WISE, a takeoff on GET SMART), CLIFF ARQUETTE, HARVEY KORMAN, JULIE NEWMAR, PHIL HARRIS, MILTON BERLE, VINCENT PRICE, HENRY GIBSON...
