I love this series!
However, while I give Seasons 2 and 3 Five Stars (Season 1 had not yet hit a stride), this Season (4) has some problems:

1) The writing just isn't as good as the previous 2 seasons. Too much Israel Boone, and too much of the same type of story with the British, and too many "unbelievable" situations. Sometimes Boone is made to look like a weakling while Israel saves his life! Give me a break.
2) The audio is out of sync on these episodes sometimes. Funny because on one of the Bonus Features they talk about how much care the put into cleaning up the audio and video. As someone in the industry I can tell you that there is no excuse for not having the audio sync up, it's just sloppiness. Someone did not do their job correctly and no one supervised to check and fix it.
3) Jemimah Boone just disappears with no explanation. No great loss, but kind of annoying when people just disappear.
4) Mingo is not in enough episodes.

#1 above is the MAIN problem, though - the others are just minor problems.

I would recommend this season only if you're a completist and want to have the entire collection. If you're only buying one or two sets, buy season 2 and season 3.

I don't know how Seasons after this are, I haven't seen them. Hopefully it does not go further downhill, but usually once a series begins to "jump the shark", there is no going back... And I'd say it jumped the shark in Season 4.

With 4 children under the age of 9 and with the memory of Fess Parker as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett still etched in my head from the 'golden years' growing up, I can tell you that my children loved every minute of the suspense of this movie (save for each of them biting their nails)! The lessons and morals taught are invaluable and at such contrast to the mindless movies and programming children today are subjected to. I met Fess Parker in person in 2/08 at his hotel in Santa Barabara and I assure you that he's still bigger than life at 6' 5" tall, handsome and a with a great voice and a charitable disposition. Buy his film legacy, they're not making any more of him (at least right now).

This was a great series when I was a kid and now has become a great journey down memory lane. Liberation Entertainment has done a wonderful job of recreating this series. I didn't realize it as a kid, but with each season the acting the scenery and overall quality gets better. If you enjoyed this series as a kid, I know that you will enjoy watching them again. In my mind, Fess Parker will never grow old and the life lessons and morals come through with each episode that I watch. It's too bad that kids today do not have this quality of television entertainment. If they did, perhaps there would be less violence, crime and a better America! I would highly reccomend this to anyone.

This is a great DVD! It tells history, it is clean, and my grandkids love it!

I like the Daniel Boone dvds. but not happy because disc # 4 in season 4 was blank. also I got murder she wrote for my Wife at Christmas and the cases where broken.and when I told you this you said you would send good cases to replace the broken ones. I know thangs get damaged but I would like disc 4 in season 4 replaced with a good one and the cases that I was told I would get for the murder she wrote purchuse. But all in all I will probably buy more from you I heve gotten several shows from ya and those are the only 2 problems I have had. thanks stephen Rhodes

This fourth season contains 26 episodes on 7 dvds in color from 1967, all digitally restored and remastered. Actors featured are Fess Parker, Ed Ames, Patricia Blair and Darby Hinton. Disc 7 contains Special Features content and commentary about the program. Very nice addition to your collection. This is good family entertainment that your whole family can enjoy.

Wow! my mom and I have been enjoying the Daniel Boone Series ever since we discovered season one... Now, with the new digitally remastered version, season four is surprisingly clear and the colors are MUCH sharper! We like this series even better now... and didn't expect there to be such a difference in the versions. Yay! We recommend this product highly!

Wonderful Series.

Done of except a book, with data on the history of this it magnifies series.

Correct presentation.

Perfect image.

Wonderful color.

This was truly an entertaining show about frontier life with a nice ensemble of actors. The one and only "Fess Parker", was truly the best choice for this role, like he was as Davy Crockett. The stories are interesting with plenty of action, and it makes you feel like you were actually living back in those times.

You won't go wrong in purchasing this series.

What a Boone, what a doer, what a dream come truer, was he!

This season is not the best. There is no more Mingo, and Jimmy Dean well .... Let's just say he wasn't the best replacement for Mingo. The show still is innocent but the plots have taken a downward turn. Most of them are pretty dumb. So if you are looking for a G show this is a good pick, but if you're after a good show get season three or earlier.
