Product Description

LAREDO - THE COMPLETE SERIES! This box set brings you the complete series of Laredo on 12 DVDs, faithfully reproduced from the original NBC masters. So saddle up and join in the fun with the wackiest company of Texas Rangers ever to uphold the law. Laredo, with its blend of western comedy and high drama, is one of the best television westerns to be found. Laredo premiered in prime time as an episode of The Virginian and was such a big hit, with its wonderful cast, gorgeous color photography, western ambiance and tight, serio-comic scripts, that it was immediately signed for a full season. Laredo brings together three Texas Rangers with distinctive personalities, strengths and weaknesses, under the stern command of Captain Edward Parmalee (Philip Carey). Wacky Reese (Neville Brand), brawny Joe (William Smith) and smooth Chad (Peter Brown) are equally good at roughhouse humor as well as serious law keeping. Chad and Joe are particularly good with the ladies, something most westerns of the day shied away from. In Season 2, Claude Akins joins the cast as Cotton, a character similar to Brand's Reese, and Robert Wolders made several appearances as Ranger Erik Hunter. Quick in the saddle and quick on the draw, when these lawmen go after evil-doers, they always see justice done!

I loved this show when I was growing up and I still love it. Excellent cast work so well together with witty comedic writing in a western setting. It's delightful fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Western for people who hate westerns, February 26, 2010

By	D. R. M. "wicmar" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This was a favorite show of mine when I was growing up, but I'd quite forgotten it until the first DVD set was released a couple of years ago. I'm so glad that it's back in circulation. This light-hearted, funny take on classic 60s westerns has plenty of action, but also plenty of great give-and-take among the three Texas Rangers who are the main characters. It doesn't take itself seriously at all. Neville Brand is the heart of the show--usually typecast as a villain, but with great comedic chops as the goofy but lovable Ranger. You'll also see a few great character actors and even a future movie star or two. Even if you're not very fond of westerns, I'm betting you'll like Laredo quite a lot.

I found Laredo late one night when I was sick and couldn't sleep. I loved it and started taping it. My tapes are tired and I'm pleased with the first season. Hope this is not the last season released??
