4.0 out of 5 stars First 13 episodes of Season 2, in broadcast order., October 5, 2008

This review is from: Laredo Season 2 Part One (DVD)

Season 2 of Laredo is sillier and goofier than Season 1, highlighted by the addition to the cast of Robert Wolders as Erik, a Dutch Ranger who dresses in outrageous outfits, including paisley jackets! Apparently, because Neville Brand had a drinking problem, the producers had to work around his often unreliable behavior, so Wolders was added to the cast so that Brand did not have to do as much. Toward the end of the season, Claude Akins more or less substituted for Brand. The episodes suffer when there is less of Brand.

Unlike the DVD Sets from Season 1, these 13 episodes are presented in broadcast order -- not that it makes much difference, as there's hardly any continuity between episodes. You can find the episode guide to the series here, and season 2 begins with episode 31:

The shows are on 3 dual layer DVDs, each in its own slim case, so it takes up less space on your shelf that the 1st Season sets.

Quality wise, the episodes are all over the map. Some look very good, others are grainy with a lot of compression. Some episodes have over-saturated color, and "Last of the Caesars" is overly bright. Just like the first season sets, these episodes have no chapter stops within them, nor do they display elapsed time. There are no special features, nor any information about the specific episodes on the packaging other than the titles.

It's too bad that Timeless Media didn't put some more effort into this series, but at least they're available to enjoy, uncut. So despite the uneven technical quality, there's a lot of fine entertainment here, even if the overall show content lags behind Season 1.

Used to watch Laredo on TV when i was a kid. Still enjoy it as much as i did then. The picture is colour is very well done and if you like Weatern Classics with a bit of humour, you will enjoy this show.

I am so glad to be able to get this series on dvd--I watched this show as a rerun in the 1970's, and loved it then and I still love it now. It's so nice to be able to get shows like this on dvd to watch at my convenience.
