Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The premise behind this revisionist Western from executive producer Jonas McCord (Earth: Final Conflict, Ask the Dust) was novel enough: veteran character actor Anthony Zerbe ran a Pony Express station, and counted among his diverse group of riders such future legends of the Old West as Wild Bill Hickok (Josh Brolin) and Buffalo Bill Cody (Stephen Baldwin; Christopher Pettiet would join them in the series' third and final season as a youthful Jesse James). Ostensibly, the Riders' job was to deliver the U.S. mail, but somehow, adventure kept intervening, and the Riders rallied valiantly to defend escaped slaves ("Black Ulysses"), give testimony in the case of a stagecoach massacre ("Speak No Evil"), and even deal with their own growing fame ("Ten-Cent Hero," which addresses the pulp mythologizing of Hickok). Of course, there was always time for a little romance as well, especially between Hickok and comely housemother Emma Shannon (Melissa Leo, who departed the show after this season for more modern pastures on Homicide: Life in the Street). A host of notable guest stars supported the uniformly fine cast, including Cynthia Nixon ("Gathering Clouds") and Chris Penn ("Matched Pair"). The lack of any extras is something of a disappointment. --Paul Gaita
Description:
Saddle up for fun and adventure with "The Young Riders"! Set in the early days of the Pony Express, the series tells the fictionalized story of a group of young riders for the express in Sweetwater, Kansas, who just happen to include a couple of dudes who would one day go down in real-life history as two of the west's most notorious names: "Buffalo Bill" Cody (Stephen Baldwin) and "Wild Bill" Hickock (Josh Brolin). In charge of the bunch is ex-Texas ranger and all-around eccentric teaspoon hunter (Anthony Zerbe). See how they all put the wild in the wild, wild west in this complete first season of "The Young Riders."

I like the fact that they finally put this onto DVD. I'm not a big fan of western TV shows, but I do like this one. It is based on the United States history. The Pony Express didn't last long, but it was a great service to America. I also like the fact that it also puts the points of views of who sided with which side of the Civil War.
The only thing that I saw wrong with this is the setting. The show takes place in the Nebraska territory, but there are cacti that live only in Arizona ... Read More

When "The Young Riders" aired, I was only able to view a few episodes, but enjoyed what I saw. Hence, when I found the show listed on Amazon I purchased it, and have just finished watching Season 1. For the most part, I completely enjoyed the episodes, despite the fact that I had to keep reminding myself: "This is a fictional show, so ignore the historical non-sense and just get into a good, old fashioned western." And let me tell you, as someone who has read about and studied the "old west" for over ... Read More

I can't stop watching - its great quaility, great entertainment. Fall in love with the wild west and the charachters. Steven Baldwin is adorable not to mention all the other handsome fellows..

I loved this show when it came out and was so excited to be able to get it on dvd. The picture quality is great. It would be nice to have some of the bonus features that one might see on other dvds, but coming from 1989, I wasn't surprised not to see any. My only complaint is that they haven't come out with the next two seasons to purchase as well.

I'd forgotten just how great this show was. An excellent mix of humor, scenery, drama and eye candy...sigh...but, my in-laws (ages 67 & 70) just watched the first two episodes with me tonight and they love it too...they're English, so I guess this has good cross-generational AND cross-cultural appeal. Eagerly looking forward to the rest of the series!
