Overland Trail - The Complete Series - 17 Classic Episodes [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC]

Presented by NBCUniversal and distributed by Timeless Media Group, this is a series I seem to have missed! Having now seen the 17 classic episodes on 4 DVDs, am glad to have this complete series in my collection. WILLIAM BENDIX and DOUG McCLURE are good together as they struggle to keep their Overland Stage line safe as they move West from Missouri, across the Rockies and on to California. A very enjoyable series with an impressive guest cast list.

nostalgia viewing

I was not familiar with this series, but having enjoyed other TV westerns from Time Media, I thought it would be worth viewing. As other reviewers have already commented, this is one of the better western series which deserved far greater success. My criticism is with the media. Three of the discs in the set suffered from freezing and picture blocking, spoiling my enjoyment of three episodes (one on each of the three affected discs). The faults were verified by playing the discs on three different players (two dedicated DVD players and one Blu-ray player). A replacement set suffered from exactly the same problem at the same points in the program, so the problem appears to be with the disc authoring. Shame, but the set is still worth having for the remaining episodes.

i don't remember this series but ordered it because of Doug McClure what a find wish there was more. excellent program still good after all these years. By the way it plays on my region 2 dvd player

i was not expecting to be able to play this on my dvd player being Region 1 - thought I can play on the computer so got in anyway but I was delighted to find I could play it.

once again TMG have brought out a great TV series.price and delivery, 5 star.Would like to see them bring out Whirlybirds and Highway Patrol

enjoyed every episode

Very good series but i think because of age picture and sound sometimes not so good and will freeze at times but still worth having

It is great.

Are you sick of reality? (Shows, I mean ) Modern TV is so useless. I prefer the oldies but goodies. This Western hasWilliam Bendix ( Life of Reilly , Kill the Umpire ) as the operator of The Overland Stage Lines, with Doug McClure as hisright hand man. They get into ( and out of ) all kinds of trouble , with a number of noteworthy guest appearances.Another fine addition to my collection.

Fast-paced 52 minute classic black and white 1960 western, revolving around a stagecoach line. The Picture quality is acceptable, the sound is clear. Some episodes are better than others. The two stars are the main reason the show works. It's a lot of fun, with some humour to it. Highly recommended for people who enjoy classic tv westerns.

This is another good western series released by Timeless Media Group.It stars William Bendix and Doug McClure.Plenty of action in this series about the Overland Trail,a major stage route to the west all the way to the Pacific Ocean.Willaim Bendix played the man in charge of the stage line with Doug McClure as his sidekick who had been brought up by indians.The two actors play of one another well.There are quite a few funny moments shared by the two actor's here like when the stagecoach almost sinks in the mud.Bendix exclaims it wasn't this deep the last time he came through,to which McClure retorts, "were you standing in the saddle at the time".Another episode has Bendix in the barber's chair with a very nervous barber with a shaky hand after hearing gun fire outside."I've calmed down now" says the barber "so I can now finish you off" to which Bendix replies "That's what I'm afraid of.Another series that only lasted one season and should have lasted longer,but then Doug McClure would never have ended up in his most famous role as Trampas on "The Virginian".I bought this series sight unseen and was happy I did.

Love the old Westerns
