Bonanza

Summary: it all comes back!
Review: Bonanza was the first series I watched on tv and it's great to see it back. This is a real good buy: eight episodes of good image and sound quality. The stories are a bit too simple for these times, but these episodes sling you right back forty years ago when you were a twelve year old kid. Great! Everything seemed clear and simple then. Hum. Curious but fun.

Summary: Excellent two disc set of Bonanza !
Review: On these DVDs are 8 very entertaining episodes (on two double-sided discs) from the first two seasons of Bonanza, they are:

1. Escape To The Ponderosa.
2. The Ape
3. The Bloodline
4. Death At Dawn
5. Blood On The Land
6. Badge Without Honor
7. Day Of Reckoning
8. Desert Justice.

The visual quality of these 8 episodes is excellent, the audio quality is also very good. More importantly, the original Bonanza theme is featured on these DVDs, which is important as some other companies releasing Bonanza on DVD (such as Platinum Disc and Madacy) feature a generic western theme. The Ape features a young Leonard Nimoy in an early role 6 years before achieving fame as Spock in Star Trek, you can also catch a young Claude Akins in Desert Justice as a U.S. Marshall.

While watching these episodes it occurred to me that the late Lorne Greene seemed born to play Ben Cartwright, he is so good in that role, Michael Landon, Pernell Roberts, and Dan Blocker are also very good in roles that seemed to be tailor-made for them.

In short, if you're a true Bonanza fan, you can't go wrong with this DVD set!
