Editorial Reviews

Kirby Grant, Gloria Winters. Follow the adventures of rancher Sky King, a former WWII aviator who patrols his hometown of Grover City in his twin-engine plane, getting people out of (and into) scrapes. This entrancing and often edgy show combined the new technologies of the '50s with timeless Western-style storytelling. Episodes include "The Wild Man," "Sky Robbers," "A Dog Named Barney" and "Bullet Bait" (all airing on 12/28/58). 1958/b&w/104 min/NR.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, October 3, 2006

This review is from: Sky King, Vol. 1 (DVD)

I have nothing against this four episode release from Critics Choice of the "Sky King" series . . . the episodes look fairly good (though far from pristine), the price is right, and a couple of the episodes even include original vintage commercials (a real plus among collectors). So why the "Buyer Beware" title? The episodes included on this DVD are the exact same four episodes that were released on another DVD from Alpha Video which Amazon also carries. Apparently, only four episodes from the series lapsed into the public domain and that's why multiple releasing companies are offering the same episodes.

The four star rating is well deserved for this entertaining show that many of the Baby Boomer generation enjoyed during the 1950s and 1960s and can again, thanks to this DVD release.

This review is from: Sky King, Vol. 1 (DVD)

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
