Episodes include The Wild Man, Sky Robbers, A Dog Named Barney and Bullet Bait 1958/b&w/105 min/NR.

This is the same DVD as the other SKY King DVD that has the black and white cover. They have the same four episodes.

This is great. As a baby boomer I remember watching this every saturday morning along with The Lone Ranger, and Fury. Today's jaded kids would find it a bore. It takes alot to stimulate today's younger generation. But in a more inocent time (when going out for a hot dog or ice-cream was a big deal) Sky King was was up there as a top kids show. I plan on buying the whole series.

I can't imagine a single baby-boomer that didn't love this series as a child. I can only remember watching it on Saturday mornings but what a treat! For the moment I seem to recall two episodes. The one with a "haunted house with a screaming woman" (Sky found a hidden speaker under a table) and an episode where a Native American tribe was in need of rain and Sky King used good ole Songbird to 'seed' the clouds.

Oh, the memories and to have the whole set. Well this DVD is a start. I'll roll the dice as the price is nice!

There's never any doubt with Sky who's gonna swoop down and
make the varmit pay. The four half hour segments hold true
to our values. Suitable for children of all ages with story
lines that are interesting and good to the last frame. TV the way it used to be - 100%.

As a child of the 50's it was fun getting to watch Sky King again. There were even some old ads included. I doubt my grandkids would sit still for any of these but I sure enjoyed seeing Sky and Penny. There is a good website devoted to the show, do a Google search for it and you'll find it.

BEING COPIED FROM TV THE QUALITY CAME OUT GREAT. GOOD CHOISE OF SHOWS

My Husband and I were both very pleased with the quality of this DVD. It brought back memories of when we were children growing up with this series. We both sat together along with our son of 16 and enjoyed watching it once again. Thank you for the availabiltie of this DVD. Looking forward to more in the near future.

I bought 2 Sky King Videos of old TV shows. Both had different covers but both contained the same four episodes. One DVD stated the shows were from "1951" and the other DVD said "1958". Be careful when ordering multiple dvds of the same actor to make sure they are not duplicated. One cost $7.98 and one cost $4.98

I enjoyed these 4 episodes and can only hope the complete series will be released officially someday. I know there is a complete set avaliable now on other sites for around $250.00, but it's not official, is it?

As an 8-year old I loved this show, and seeing it again was just wonderful. Except there are only 4 episodes on the disc, and no other volumes available. I want them all! The Penny character, who I particularly loved as a boy, turns out to be a bit over acted, even melodramatic, but that's more about my memory than anything else.
