[ NOTES ]

The Alaskans: The Complete Series is available on Blu-ray only, but with the exceptional image and sound quality present here, you won't ever need or ask for a DVD version. Simply one of the best presentations of a 1950s television series in high definition I have ever seen. If you enjoy Western and adventure television series from this era, you owe it to yourself to see The Alaskans. Be sure to keep an eye out for an impressive list of guest stars including James Coburn, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Troy Donahue, Lee Van Cleef, Neil Hamilton, Alan Hale, Werner Klemperer, and Julie Adams. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
