Warner Brothers recently released the Cheyenne: The Complete Series Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

In the 1950s, a posse of popular Warner Bros. TV Westerns galloped into American living rooms: Maverick, Sugarfoot, Bronco, Lawman, Colt .45. The sagebrush rage began with Cheyenne, an epic series of gunblazing action and panoramic prairie vistas that ran for seven top-rated seasons and helped turn a nation of accountants, sales clerks, and kids into armchair cowpokes. The source of Cheyenne's significant popularity was its charismatic and heroic leading man, Clint Walker, who rose to instant TV-star fame as Cheyenne Bodie, six-and-a-half feelt of cowboy brawn, courage and integrity.

[ EPISODES ]

The 30-disc set includes all 107 episodes of the 1955-1962 seven-season ABC series. Each episode runs about 43 to 46 minutes.

[ SPECIFICATIONS ]

The show is presented in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. The show is Not Rated. Audio languages include English. Subtitle languages include English SDH.

[ SPECIAL FEATURES ]

All of the special features below can be found on the respective Blu-ray discs.

• SEASON 1, DISC 3: The Lonely Gunfighter: The Legacy of Cheyenne (13:44) - A 2006 interview with star Clint Walker.

[ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

No digital copy code voucher is included. All seven seasons are stored in seven individual cases, which are placed in a side-loading slipcase. Each disc is on its own page. This is the perfect way to release a TV series. I wish more studios would package theirs sets like this, instead of the clumsy "all discs in one thick case stacked on top of each other" garbage case.

[ NOTES ]

Cheyenne: The Complete Series is available on Blu-ray and DVD. The series is highlighted by early television appearances from future stars such as James Garner, Edd Byrnes, Alan Hale, Jr., Dan Blocker,Lee Van Cleef, Michael Landon, Lorne Greene, Angie Dickinson, Connie Stevens and Ellen Burstyn. This Blu-ray collection presents every episode of this classic Western with the highest of quality and takes me back to when my father would have watched this as a kid. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
