(Cindy Edge, 2009-10-08) I have fond memories of watching Wagon Train with my grandfather. It was his favorite show. I just recently started watching again on Retro T.V. and was surprised at how good the show really was! I came looking for the series on DVD, but if this is all they have to offer, I think I'll wait. For one thing, it's way too expensive for one season. When the price comes down and they start releasing the whole series - by season, or as a set - then I'll be all over it! I'd like to give the series 5 stars... but really, since this is not a DVD set I can invest in, I'm torn... and disappointed.
(david w. hall, 2009-09-22) i love wagon train. its long over due to dvd. however i wont be buying anymore tv series on dvd until ALL the seasons are available for that series. im tired of spending my hard won money buying season box sets and then having the big wigs cancel further releases so that we cant complete the collections. cbs has done this after canceling rawhide after the 3rd season. i will never waste my money again buying tv shows on dvd until they are all out. cbs/paramount stink!
(calvinnme, 2009-09-04) This is going to be an "uncut" first season of Wagon Train. The 39 episodes have be remastered and reside on 10 dual layer DVD's. The series was inspired by the western, "The Wagonmaster", which is one of those few classic films that is getting a pressed DVD release this year, so you can examine both and compare. There is some confusion about this set, for I've seen reports that it was going to be exclusive to Sam's Club, yet it shows up here for sale. This particular edition is supposed to be a limited run in a collector's tin shaped like a covered wagon, so if it is re-released, it will probably be in a plain case. This first season began airing in September of 1957 and stars Ward Bond, recreating his role from John Ford's "The Wagonmaster" as Major Seth Adams. Also starring is Robert Horton as Head Scout Flint McCullough, Frank McGrath as the cook Charlie Wooster, and Terry Wilson as Assistant Wagon master Bill Hawks. The big picture of the series is that it takes place a few years after the Civil War and involves the forementioned characters taking a wagon train of settlers from Missouri to California. Each episode is pretty much self-contained as it focuses on the stories of the passengers on the wagon train and is framed by the fine performances of the main cast. Guest stars in this first season include Ernest Borgnine (The Willy Moran Story), Sterling Hayden (The Les Rand Story), Agnes Moorehead (The Mary Halstead Story), Keenan Wynn (The Luke O'Malley Story), June Lockhart ( The Sarah Drummond Story), and Debra Paget and Nick Adams (The Marie Dupree Story). It is interesting to note that when Gene Roddenberry was making his pitch to the networks for Star Trek he described it as a "Wagon Train to the Stars".
