 NO WARD BOND, BUT STILL PLEASURABLE VIEWING October 29, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This three disc set of "Wagon Train," containing 12 black and white episodes, is a welcome addition to any fan's collection of 1950's/60's TV westerns. You won't find TV icon Ward Bond, the original wagonmaster of "WT," in this set but craggy John McIntire does his usual solid, fatherly job leading sodbusters, gamblers, and spinsters from St. Joseph, Missouri to California. Along for the ride are Robert Horton, Terry Wilson, Frank McGrath, Robert Fuller, and Denny Miller. Timeless Media Group has done their usual fine job producing a compilation of shows featuring excellent guest stars. The picture quality rates an "8" overall, with the expected streaks and specks, but the audio is excellent. Hopefully, a set featuring Ward Bond as wagonmaster will be forthcoming from TMG. Thank you for reading my review and here's a rundown of the episodes (including the year and episode number) and featured performers:
1 John Gillman Story (year 8, episode 3) Bobby Darin, Whit Bissell
2 Tiburcio Mendez Story (4, 26) Nehemiah Persoff, Leonard Nimoy
3 Ah Chong Story (4, 37) Frank Ferguson, Arnold Stang
4 Lt. Burton Story (5, 22) Charles McGraw, Dean Jones
5 Nellie Jefferson Story (4, 27) H.M. Wynant, Janice Paige
6 Heather Mahoney Story (5, 37) Jane Wyatt, Cyril Delevanti
7 Emmet Lawton Story (6, 24) Dennis Hopper, Richard Devon
8 Kurt Davol Story (6, 11) Eddie Albert, Karl Lukas
9 Tom Tuesday Story (6, 28) Brian Keith
10 Abel Weatherly Story (6, 16) J.D. Cannon, William Fawcett
11 Johnny Masters Story (6, 18) Robert Wilke, Anthony George
12 Heather and Hamish Story (6, 29) Michael Parks, Ann Helm
 Mixed feelings about WT: Going West October 23, 2008
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
Wagon Train is my all time favorite TV series. Therefore I have purchased this set and want to encourage any company releasing an authorized DVD set. The packaging is fine. Picture quality is good, but not outstanding, for a b&w TV show if its era.
Anyone who buys this set expecting to see Major Adams yelling at Flint and Flint smiling back will be disappointed. This set contains 3 episodes from the second half of season 4 (all filmed after Ward Bond's death), 2 episodes from season 5 (the last year Robert Horton played Flint McCullough), 6 episodes from season 6, and one episode from season 8. Major Adams (Ward Bond) does not appear in any of these episodes. Flint McCullough appears moderately in one episode (Lt. Burton, an episode with all the regulars at that time) & minimally in campfire scenes framing The Nellie Jefferson Story. With its heavy emphasis on season 6 this DVD set would be a good choice for a WT fan whose favorite character is Duke Shannon. There are a couple of episodes focused on Charlie Wooster, a couple focused on Bill Hawks, and a few focused on Chris Hale.
Most episodes run at least 49 minutes of typical original 50 minutes. Heather Mahoney Story, focused on Chris Hale, is less than 38 minutes & feels like the middle has disappeared.
Suggested alternatives: Record WT episodes being aired by the Retro TV Network, look for the WT VHS tapes distributed by Columbia House years ago, and/or save your money to buy the WT: Color Season set that will have some episodes from the early seasons of WT.
