STEVE MCQUEEN...He had that something..."SPECIAL"... that can take a simple story and turn it into a..."MUST SEE"...production!! Wanted Dead or Alive is a perfect example of just how GREAT an actor he was...This program had Very Talented Writers and Wonderful Costars. But... I can only compare how you feel when MCQUEEN does his thing, to the times I saw TED WILLIAMS come to bat!! You just know that something "VERY SPECIAL" is about to happen!! I don't care what you pay for these DVD's, it's worth every penny....DON'T MISS IT!!!!

One of the most memorable and famous characters of the '50's Western genre was Steve McQueen's "Josh Randall", who spoke softly (with the Southern drawl he cultivated in his early days roaming around the South, particularly Myrtle Beach, S.C.) and carried a Big Gun, the sawed-off Winchester lever-action rifle then known as the "Mare's Laig". I remember the excitement each week eagerly waiting for each episode of this great Western.
It's release on DVD has been just too long a wait! It's great to finally have ALL of this fine show! It's just too bad there wasn't more of it, and that we'll not see the likes of it again!
One of my fondest childhood memories was the weekend I spent with my Dad, helping him to hand make my own custom-made leather belt rig from scratch for my toy "Mare's Laig" in time for use as part of a Halloween costume when the plastic original proved to be a poor replica.
With all the second- and third-rate wastage flooding the DVD market lately, it's really great to see SOMEBODY bring back such a great actor in this really great Western!

THIS IS THE BEST SEASON OUT OF THE THREE. SOME OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES ARE IN THIS LAST SEASON. THIS SEASON HAS ALOT OF COOL GUEST STARS AND THE MAIN REASON IS THAT RICHARD DONNER DIRECTS ALOT OF THE EPISODES. IT IS NOT SO MUCH GOOD AGAINST BAD, INSTEAD THE STORIES HAVE TWISTS TO THEM AND GREAT CAMERA WORK. RICHARD DONNER WOULD GO ON TO DIRECT THE LETHAL WEAPON MOVIES AND SUPERMAN.

I recently aquired a copy of Wanted:Dead or Alive.As I Live in New Zealand we didn't get this programme here so I've just seen it for the first time and absolutely love it.Steve McQueen was one of the great actors and this series is just fantastic.Im glad I got to see it.Love that "Mare's Leg". I'm a collector of western movies and have over 100 of them and this show would be one of my favorites.Right up there with "The High Chapparal" which I'm waiting for.
Wanted"Dead or Alive is must watch western and I highly reccommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.

Steven McQueen's 1st year series was quite good, but he
was rather stiff in the role. Season 3 series is excellent
and find that McQueen had found his role rather more comfortable
and his acting ability rose. This is a must get series for the
western aficionado.

Wanted Dead or Alive is an excellent Western series. It is well produced and I could only wish it to have been for more Seasons.
Amazon prices are excellent and overseas postage is cheap. Many thanks for a quick, efficient sale. Jim.

This third complete year set of Wanted Dead or Alive is just as fantastic as the first two years. The sound and picture quality is excellent. I noticed a few differences in this third year set. There is a new video opening to the show.....he has a new hat.....he seems to wear his gun belt less, sometimes draped over his shoulder, or over the horn on his saddle.....there seems to be less violence and a little more humor. I highly recommend this DVD set.

Brings back so many memories- my husband still enjoys it as much as when he first watched it

this third season DVD is great, alot of bonus features, the episodes are really interesting, a good buy and money not wasted. Steve rocks!

I just received WDOA Season 3 and have seen the first four episodes. If these episodes are any indication season 3 is the best of the 3.

STEVE MCQUEEN IS SOOOOO COOOOOLLLL!!!
