There seems to be much confusion surrounding the release of Season 1 and 3 Young Riders. What I have found may help.
THIS IS THE 5 DISC VERSION: Amazon lists this as a single disc at the time of writing this review. The set actually includes five discs in two regular sized DVD cases and housed in a sort of collector's box snugly fitting the two cases.
It is very frustrating to see seasons 1 and 3 released with no season 2. That seems irrational if you don't consider the distribution or licensing issues that are complicating the problem. The company currently distributing has obtained the rights for 1 and 3, and is trying to get season 2. There isn't much that can be done if the holder wont sell those rights or distribute themselves. Hopefully this gets worked out soon.
This show was very popular with an extremely loyal fan base while airing. It was once rated the most highly anticipated DVD release of any TV show. Unfortunately, after the first season release dissapointed in sales, the original distribution rights holder decided not to risk any furhter investment. We appear to be saved by the new company and I look forward to recieving my copies of each season.
Show cliff notes: Set just before the American Civil War, this series presented a highly fictionalized account of the heyday of the Pony Express. Its focus was a group of young Express riders based at the waystation in Sweetwater, Kansas. Running the station was ex-Texas Ranger and all-around eccentric Teaspoon Hunter. The role of cook, housekeeper and mother hen was filled first by Emma and later by Rachel. The riders included the future "Buffalo Bill" Cody and James Butler ("Wild Bill") Hickok, as well as Ike, a mute, Buck, a half-White/half-Kiowa scout and the Kid, a quiet Southerner. Their final member was Lou, a young woman who lived and worked with the riders disguised as a boy. In second season, their group was joined by Noah Dixon.

Young Riders is a great show, I just wish they would put out the second season. The first season set was great, all discs in seperate holders; the third season came with the disks stacked on top of eachother and had glitches while watching. I hope the second season comes in individual slots. Really, it doesn't cost that much more to make individual holders for the discs. I gave it four stars because the show is great.
