Do you remember Bonanza? There would always be some new adventure with one or another (or a combination) of the main characters, but the basis of that show was characters that we grew to know and love. Ben Cartwright could always be counted on (well, almost always) for his wisdom, foresight and compassion. Hoss would give us a laugh, Little Joe would screw something up (again!) and Adam would shoot somebody or beat them up.

Similarly, The Young Riders is character-based. Most shows that tend to move us and we grow attached to are. Sure, there's lots of action, beautiful locations and great production values but if the people we see on the screen are flat, one-dimensional characters that we honestly couldn't care less about, we probably wouldn't develop any feeling for them. For instance, Teaspoon (so marvellously portrayed by Anthony Zerbe) would seem, on the surface, to be pretty one-dimensional. But, as time goes by and we learn more about him and his past, as he shows us what kind of person he is and see, to some extent, some of the events that shaped him into that person, we see that he is actually far more complex than can be seen by the naked eye.

Unfortunately, for some reason, SONY PICTURES HAS DECIDED THAT WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THE REST OF THIS SHOW!!! We've been waiting years since Season One was released for the other two to appear. PLEASE, SONY PICTURES! WE WANT THIS!
How much longer?!

This is a wonderful series & it is a shame to only release the first season. Fans have been waiting for two years to have the 2nd and 3rd seasons released. Please release seasons 2 & 3 of this GREAT series soon.

They really messed up by waiting so long to release season two. This was a great show and I don't understand why it's taking them so long to release all the seasons on dvd.

I have loved this series from the first episode I watched - which was actually the second ep of the first season. I think the entire cast was very well put together, each one showing their strengths. I'd never say that it was great acting, but it was fun and a period piece with a little humor thrown into the drama that often occurred. I really REALLY hope that this will be released soon. I bought the first season the day it came out and have been waiting eagerly for the rest of the series. What is taking so long???

The Young Riders is must see TV. On today's TV there is a lack of good clean!! family TV shows. This series showed that you could have romance and adventure without the rated r scenes.

Please release the rest of the series soon!!!!

I have waited for Season 2 forever! How much longer do I have to wait? I love this series!

I was 10 years old when The Young Riders hit the television airwaves for the first time. Eighteen years later, I still remember specific scenes and moments from all three seasons because the characters were created so well. Not only did the writers clearly take time to research (and, like any show of course, pick and choose what they wanted to present for entertainment's sake!) but the actors clearly built on their characters, grew into them, and with them. (It helps, too, that so much of the cast was terribly attractive!)

While only season one is currently out on dvd, a web search will show that the fans of this serious are starving for seasons 2 and 3, for the character development, the fun, the camaraderie, and heck, just completing the sets they began when season 1 came out 2 years ago. Will it be a blockbuster seller? Perhaps not, but the fans have been wanting this for, literally, more than a decade, going on two, (1989- first airing, and it's 2008 as I write this 'review') so you know you have, at least, a solid fan-base! (And you can't argue against the fact that far less worthy shows have been made into DVDs and sold just fine.)

The Season 1 DVDs have no extras, so we can only hope that Season 2 will improve on that (but, as the myriad of enthusiastic fans prove, we'll settle for just the DVDs.)

i loveed to watch it on tv and was excited to find out it was on dvd for the first time now we are waiting on season 2 and 3 how do i know this cause i watched all of it and found some one that had recorded the show on vhs and i bought them so please hurry we are waiting lol cannot wait

This is one of the greatest shows! I don't understand the delay in releasing it! And I really would like to pay for the show and not buy a pirated copy! Come on all ready, enough stalling and lets get on with the show!

Frustrated fan!

Years ago The Young Riders were on Dutch television and my friends and I tought it was great. Now I have season 1 on DVD and I am addicted again. The great adventures and the storylines, the funny things that happen, it's just a great series! When can we see season 2 and 3???
