 A true classic September 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For many fans of this series, Ward Bond as Major Seth Adams, wagonmaster and Robert Horton as scout Flint McCullough are the best the series offered. Many fans looked kindly as John McIntire as Chris Hale when he took over after Bond's death in 1960. Robert Fuller as Cooper Smith never had quite the same acceptance in taking over after Horton's departure in 1960. A show that had tons of guest stars: Lee Marvin, Robert Vaughn, Bette Davis, and many many others. Why is this not available in a decent format and by season?

Clean, wholesome entertainment for the whole family with a good story line. It's unfortunate they don't make them like this anymore. This TV western is in the same league of programming as Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Wanted, Dead or Alive, etc....
Deserves better... May 26, 2007

The Wagon Train series really deserves better than the release of just three episodes on DVD. Also, the transfer quality in my opinion is pretty poor, although the stories are watchable enough.
It is difficult to overstate the popularity of this series at the time of it's original showing in the late fifties/early sixties. The Ward Bond episodes are the best in my opinion, and apart from a number of episodes released on vhs tape about 10 years ago, there is nothing.
That's a real shame for what was without doubt one of the best western series ever made, with many star actors making appearances. I live in hope that this series will be given the status it deserves and released on DVD in full restored quality soon.

I too would love to see WAGON TRAIN, Season One in a box set. Instead, we are stuck with the only three episodes legally allowed to be sold (so thank goodness for companies like Alpha). I get to meet actor Denny Miller, who played Duke Shannon on this TV series, this September in Aberdeen at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention to talk about his screen work. He played the role on this series less than 30 times (it was a recurring role) but thankfully one of them, "The Malachi Hobart Story" from january 24, 1962, is available on this DVD so I recommend it.
