1.0 out of 5 stars a big disappointment, February 16, 2009

By 

NH Teacher "Baby Boomer" (NH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonanza: Collector's Edition (5-pk)(Tin) (DVD)

On the back of this DVD set it said "some of the most memorable episodes in Bonanza's stellar 14-season run." It turned out to be all episodes from the early years (1960 and 1961) with tinny garbled audio and marginal picture quality. The theme song is not even the familiar one but an earlier tune. This DVD set did not live up to its description.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tin encased gold = a Bonanza!, August 21, 2008

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Bonanza: Collector's Edition (5-pk)(Tin) (DVD)

The 15 episodes on MADACY's BONANZA: REVISIT LIFE ON THE PONDEROSA are the usual public domain Season #1 and #2 material that are missing the original theme song. What makes this collection distinctive is its decorative tin storage box and the extra photos, bios and show previews included on all five DVDs.


Fans of western series will also enjoy the 300 episodes on MILL CREEK's massive CLASSIC TV WESTERNS box set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hold on there, pardner!, June 13, 2011

By 

Ursus Somnolicus (Bearizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bonanza: Collector's Edition (5-pk)(Tin) (DVD)

Don't spend fifty bucks on this wooden nickel when you can get the real deal for nearly the same price:

Bonanza: The Official First Season, Vol 1 & 2

That's an eight-disc set covering the entire first season. Original theme song, too.

Update: I see the price has come down by about half on this. Not bad, if you can't afford the season set.
