My wife purchased this for me for Christmas and we just got around to viewing the first episode last night. One reason I wanted this set was it was in color but the colors are very faded/ washed and the sound quality is terrible also. I have black and white DVD sets from older shows than this that are much better quality. The price for this was way too much for the quality; this is very disappointing.

While it's great to have this set - I assumed - incorrectly - that it had been worked on - this doesn't appear to be the case.

The colour seeps in places and fuzzy at times as well - these are minor quibbles - for a series I have not seen in years - as I said - I'm pleased to have the chance to view and own this DVD set - just don't expect it to be perfect

they did not do a good job at all,to much money for what you get,pictures, stinks,they need to do a better job with restoring this series,one of my favorite westerns,they should have never let it go like this,do a better job next time

I did read some reports of poor picture quality on this set of DVDs and what swayed me to buy it was that some other reviews seemed to suggest the quality was ok - well, let me tell you that the picture quality is terrible - every DVD looks like it is a poor copy of a VHS tape with grainy and faded video and poor colour reproduction - at times it is difficulty to see an actor's face properly due to all these issues.

I was lucky as Amazon have now fully refunded me the prurchase cost of Laramie: The Final Season and I have suggested to them that they withdraw this product from sale as I am sure that any buyer will not be happy with it.

If you love westerns, you'll love Laramie, the Final Season.

Just in time for the show's 5oth anniversary, fans are treated to thirty-two full color western adventures featuring heroes/buddies Slim Sherman (played by John Smith) and Jess Harper (played by Robert Fuller), who together run a ranch and stagecoach relay station in Wyoming. This classic western aired for four seasons, 1959/60-1962/63.

Filled with action, a touch of humor, a wonderful cast with superb chemistry, great supporting characters (housekeeper Daisy Cooper, orphan Mike Williams, Sheriff Mort Cory, driver Mose and more), and a first class group of guest stars (including some of the best villains in the business like LQ Jones and Jan Merlin): Laramie hits the target dead center for westerns.

Season Four contains some of the series best episodes, especially for fans of Mr. Fuller as Jess Harper, the iconic loner/gunfighter who finds a fresh start and a makeshift family at the Sherman Ranch.

I watched this show as a young child, and was delighted at how well it's held up over five decades.

Although this set doesn't have any bonus interviews like that of Mr. Fuller in the Season Three DVD set, it's still a delightful return to the heydey of the western, and a TV series many consider the best of the genre.

Saddle up and hit the trail with Slim and Jess -- you won't be disapppointed!

I purchased a brand new (6disc) dvd entitled "Laramie The Final Season". It was of poor quality. I contacted the seller and advised them that I was not happy with the product. They advised me that they had not personally viewed the item before and that if I was not happy with it, they would provide me with a refund once they received the item. I returned the item and paid an additional $12.00 shipping fee. To date, I have not received a refund. Sincerely, Helen Scherrer

well the production house ensured that they packaged the best series without any remastering and gave you GARBAGE .They should be sued for murdering such a beautiful tv western.However i am ready to forgive if they re-release it after remastering and i shall buy it again.

haven't watched this dvd yet. still watching the first season it was shipped fast and on time if its any thing like the first season then i will be 100% satified.

I was unfamiliar with Laramie until a friend shared this show with me. Robert Fuller started as a stuntman on westerns and then branched into acting. For those fans of his familiar with Emergancy! you will be in for a wonderful treat to see him as Jess. Unlike other westerns were you wonder how the actors are staying on the horse Robert can really ride, also when the horse falls it's really him on it. The show shows its age in picture quality, and its portrayal of indians but overall the scripts are well crafted.

Terrific western series with Robert Fuller & John Smith. The service was good but the last 3 shows of the series was all broken up....poor quality.
