This dvd has two discs with a total of 8 episodes. A snap case and double sided.[Brentwood home video] Episodes are,Disc 1 side A.1. Escape to Ponderosa.2. The Ape.Disc 1 side B.1. The Bloodline.2. Death at Dawn.Disc 2 side A.1. Blood on the Land.2. Badge withouit Honor.Disc 2 side B.1. Day of Reckoning.2. Desart JusticeThe sound and picture is very good you can hear clearly and see clearly but the bad thing is how many times are they going to re..release the same episodes over and over again???Features are simple....play,choose sceen and the story of Bonanza.If you don't have these episodes on dvd or vhs do buy this one, because of the picture and sound it's worth the money.I bought this in a video store just a short time ago and I couldn't pass it up so I thought I'd pass some info to other amazon buyers.

...I hesitated for a couple of months to get this video, even considering myself a huge Bonanza fan. The reason for my reluctancy was simply that I had already owned many other episodes on that show and didn't want to take the risk of getting doubles.If you realized, Amazon.com doesn't name the episode, but it's a real Bonanza. If you had the same problem, I think it's over now for I took the chances for you and bought the tape.The episode name is "Blood on the Land". That episode was first seen on February 13, 1960. Sheep and Cows are not supposed to live together on that story. Because of that, Everett Sloane, who is the guest star and plays the role of a sheepherder, kidnaps Adam Cartwright. The "small" Ponderosa is the price for him not to kill Pernell Roberts, our "Adam boy", also known as 'The Dark Cartwright'. It's really worth seeing and owning that tape. Mature the idea if you are a Bonanza fan like me. I'm sure you won't regret watching it. Have fun!

I bet you would like to know what episodes are on these DVDs??There are [5] with only oneepisode per DVD.1. The Last Viking2. The Blood Line3. Silent Thunder4. Badge Without Honor5. Desert JusticeMadacy puts it out, the sound really isn't that great that is why I gave it a 3 STARS.

FOR THIS VIDEO THERE IS TWOEPISODES [THE GUNMEN] [BLOOD ONTHE LAND] THIS IS A GOOD COPY. I HAD THESE EPISODES ON OTHER TAPES AND THEY WERE NOT THAT GREAT, UNTILL THIS ONE CAME ALONG BUT THIS IS THE BEST. SO, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THESE GREAT EPISODES AND NOT WORRY ABOUT HAVING A POOR PICTURE, BUY THIS ONE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPIONTED. THE VIDEO WAS TAPED IN SP MODE.

Sitting watching these episodes of Bonanza took me back in time, to when westerns were the best thing on television. I will keep on purchasing as many westerns as I can. My collection is growing. Lorne Green was one of my favourite male actors.

Video and audio were not very good at all,picture was not clear and had alot of flucuation in the audio.

Thanks for te fast delivery. I ordered them for my mother in law, who will be 86 in February.

Two Full Length Episodes:
1. THE LAST VIKING
2. BREED OF VIOLENCE
DIGITAL GOLD COLLECTION

Movie Description
Two excellent episodes of the popular television series BONANAZA are paired on this set. In "The Last Viking," the Cartwright family squares off against an outlaw clan passing through the Ponderosa. In "Breed of Violence," Little Joe aids the sheriff's daughter when she gets involved with a robber.

Bonanza Fans-A Must have. Well done.

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!
