I've waited for this show to be released on vhs/dvd since the first episode!!!! The cast of characters and the cast of actors and actresses is supurb. This show appeals to all ages and genders. For anybody that was too young in 1989 to have watched this show now is the time.

Anthony Zerbe as Teaspoon is the best. Not to be missed are Ty Miller, Stephen Baldwin, Josh Brolin and Yvonne Suhor. Also look for special guests like Cynthia Nixon,Della Reese, David Carradine, Pernell Roberts, Jamie Lynn Bauer, Richard Roundtree, Brian Bonsall and my favorite Bart the Bear.

In a nutshell the show is about the Pony Express and all its trials and tribulations leading up to the Cival War. However with such a large cast the show also deals with all its members lives as well such as Wild Bill, The Kid and Lou (a girl in disguise as a boy to become a member of the Pony Express.)

You'll find gunfights, sasparilla drinking, horses, beautiful country and even romance (yes there is some of that).

Trust me buy it!!!

This set is wonderful. I'd forgotten much of the smaller plots that the reruns removed. If you saw the original show you'll be more than pleasently surprised by the clarity and length of each episode. If the only shows you were able to see were the reruns, many of the unanswered questions will be answered. There are dozens of scenes that were not shown during the rebroadcast and they will delight and enlighten both old and new fans alike.

I sincerly hope that seasons two and three will follow soon.

I had given up all hope of ever seeing my favourite show out on DVD, so this news has made my year - heck my decade - and I've already pre-ordered it. I just cannot wait to ditch my flickering, worn out old video tapes and replace them with some quality recordings.

Sony, if you're listening, hurry up with S2 and 3! I'll be first in the queue to buy!

I hear this is one of the most requested TV to DVD shows out there. And no wonder. It's a beautifully crafted western with engaging characters, gorgeous scenery, sparkling dialogue and scripts, and most of all...heart. This show has a lot of heart.

I was on the edge of my seat every week, sharing the adventures of the Pony Express riders. Moving, funny and even shippy at times, this was just great entertainment with characters you cared about.

Buy it now! You won't be disappointed.

This is such great news! The Young Riders is a fantastic show, with the thrills and excitement of the Old West, and a little history thrown in. Gregg Rainwater played my absolute favorite character on the show, but truly the best episodes were the ensemble ones, where each character contributed.

OK, hard to wait until March 21 . . .

Fans of "The Young Riders" rejoice! This is something that we have been hoping would happen for so long. I have been a fan of TYR since it first aired on ABC in 1989 and I've remained a loyal fan through my taped episodes. My worries about the tapes being too old and falling apart can now be put to rest because of the DVD release!

If you've never seen "The Young Riders", trust me when I say that it's a great show. It follows the lives of Pony Express riders. It's got action, adventure, romance -- everything you need for a great television show! (Plus who can resist a show that features gorgeous men like Gregg Rainwater (my fave!), Josh Brolin, Stephen Baldwin, Ty Miller?)

I am pre-ordering this right now! Big thanks to whomever's decision this was -- you made a LOT of fans very happy!

This show is absolutely awesome!! I loved it as a teenager when it first aired, and I am once again enjoying it on DVD. My kids are also enjoying it. Thanks MGM for finally giving our Riders to us on DVD!! Now can we have the remaining two seasons, ASAP? All us Riders fans are kinda in a hurry to get all the seasons!!

All I can say is that this show is brilliant! And its about time its out on DVD. I've been watching old re-runs of this show that I had taped years ago and dreaming about it coming out on DVD for years.

The show looks great, its bright, crisp, and clean! And if you love horses, or westerns, or Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, you need to own this series!! Its ridiculously good!

Now I'm just hoping and praying that they'll realease seaons 2 and 3 as well!!!!

This show has been my favorite since it first came out, and I am thrilled it is comming to DVD. It captures the real-life emotions of six young people trying to find out where they belong, and it is surprisingly true to the time period. I would recomend this show to anyone, and will buy it the first chance I get.

I have been waiting for this is come out on DVD forever. The characters are well developed, the stories thoughtful and interesting, and when you start watching, you can't stop. I've been hooked since the very first show, so many years ago. I used to have ALL the episodes on VHS, but somehow I lost them, and I was crushed. So, like many people out there I will be ordering this, and all the other seasons as soon as they are released.

If you like westerns, family dramas, or just a GREAT ensemble cast, this is for you. And unlike many shows that just end, and leave you hanging with a cliffhanger or unresolved storylines, The Young Riders writers knew that it was being cancelled, and did the fans a great justice by ending the 3rd season by completely wrapping up all the stories. I can't wait for March 21st.

I watched this show when it originally came on and was a tad bit afraid to try watching it again. You know the old saying about you can't go home again. I was very happy to find that that was not the case here. It was wonderful to watch it all again. It has stood up to time very well and I found it entertaining.
The lack of bad language and blood was a breath of fresh air. I understand that the bad guy died when he was shot without having to see his insides all over the road. I understand that someone in these situations wouldn't just say, "Oh, drat", but I do so get tired of the expletives all over tv now.
My youngest child and myself have had tons of fun watching this.
The only problem is now waiting for seasons 2 and 3 to come out. Please hurry with them!!!!!
