The first 4 years of imaginative and action-packed B&W episodes were much better. This final color season (expanded from 30 to 60 minutes) was a disappointment. The combination of a recurring supporting cast (who frequently over-acted), the tiring backdrop of Jim Hardy's ranch & nearby town, and a drawn-out (sometimes silly) story-line resulted in a boring TV experience. I devoured the B&W boxed set of earlier episodes, but couldn't get past the first two discs here. Even Dale Robertson (whom I love) couldn't rescue the series. Sorry, my expectations were much higher.

Wells Fargo worldwide should have as its crest a picture of Dale Robertson with the stage coach because as far as I'm concerned,Dale is Wells Fargo and most of todays society will associate one with the other. I personally liked the half hour B&W shows better, and I hope the studios put out the entire seasons in chonological order, but overall, this is a nice addition to anyones collection who remembers W.F. from the 50's and 60's.

I bought this set as a gift. We watched the original set, then got this set because it was all that we could add. The feel is lighter, as another reviewer noted, but we still watched it all the way through and enjoyed the opportunity to stay with the characters.Tales of Wells Fargo - The Best of the Color Season - 22 episodes

It is a shame that they spoiled a great western series with this format. The original series was one of the greatest westerns ever produced. The stories from the color season was mixed with things that had no business being in there. All the stories seened to drag on due to the hour format and the larger cast. It would have been better to show the Jim Hardie homelife now and then but not every week. The took the original producer, writers, and directors out of the loop.

For the most part I have enjoyed this product. However, of the six disks, disk 3 and disk 6 do not run on my DVD Player (DVD Player is 3 months old and firmware is current). I have had to go to my computer which reads all formats go watch these disks. Big difference in 50" and 15".

Dale Robertson is a truly fine natural actor, packaged in color with the great story lines from the tv series that I used to enjoy with my father as a young boy. What's wrong with a little nostalgia at a great price!

i like going back in time seeing what the first good guy bad guy, was like.
