Description:
BIG VALLEY Season 2 Volume 1 continues the adventures of the wealthy and powerful Barkley family in the untamed Old West.
Amazon.com:
Eugene Barkley, we hardly knew ye. The youngest of the Barkley sons (quick--who portrayed him? That's right; Charles Briles) is nowhere to be found in The Big Valley's sophomore season. But lawyer Jarrod (Richard Long), hot-headed Nick (Peter Breck), soulful "bastard son" Heath (Lee Majors), and coltish daughter Audra (Linda Evans) get into all the trouble and two-fisted action they can handle. And there's nothing the close-knit Barkleys, headed by matriarch Victoria (regally billed as "Miss Barbara Stanwyck") can't handle, whether it's defending the family name against the false accusations of an unscrupulous, grudge-bearing politician, rescuing Heath from a Mexican prison, or being abandoned in the desert. The drama of Heath's heritage, a focus of season 1, is settled once and for all in the season opener, "The Lost Treasure," in which a con man claims to be Heath's father. By episode's end, even Nick is calling Heath "brother."
Season 2 boasts an impressive roster of character actors, several at the beginning of their careers. Buddy Hackett, sporting a Lucky Charms leprechaun brogue, is the con man in "The Lost Treasure," with Bruce Dern as one of his marks, and Dub Taylor tending a ghost town bar. Colleen Dewhurst guest stars in the episode "A Day of Terror, as outlaw Annie Morton, who holds Victoria and Audra hostage while her injured son recuperates in a church. James Whitmore is the mud-slinging candidate in "Target." Warren Oates heads a band of bumbling brothers trying to open a stubborn railroad station safe in "The Great Safe Robbery." And that's the future Jan Brady, Eve Plumb as a little girl trapped in a well in "Hide the Children," an excellent episode that deals with intolerance as gypsy-hating Nick gets a change of attitude when he accompanies a gypsy bride and her family to her wedding. The Big Valley was never a ratings rival to the venerable Gunsmoke or Bonanza, which still ruled the prime time roost in 1966. But Western buffs will feel right at home with this sprawling family saga and its larger than life characters. Buyers, though, will be paying a higher premium for the Barkley property this time around. Priced the same as the season 1 set, this collection contains only the first 15 episodes of season 2 and no extra features. --Donald Liebenson

Once again FOX is sticking it to long-time, loyal fans of these older TV shows. They did it with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and are doing it to Burke's Law also. Splitting seasons into 2 parts and charging full price. Then, when fans get angry and stop buying(or burn their own off nostalgia TV)they discontinue production leaving us with an incomplete series and really mad. And no extras is just plain lazy!!
Are you mad? Then call FOX at FOX Customer Affairs... 1-888-223-2FOX, and give ... Read More

i paid $28.49 for this set from amazon and i think it's a bargain.i rate this set with 5 stars because of the quality of the dvds and the quality of the series.a lot of people complained because fox split up the season and for the higher price but for me it all boils down to how much you want the set.at an average of $1.89 per episode i feel you can't go wrong buying this set.it's a classic series and i hope the rest of the series will be put on dvds!

I am of the original TV generation, and I have been avidly collecting my favorite television series on DVD as soon as they become available. I was just about to put season one of The Big Valley in my shopping cart when I stumbled across Season 2 PART 1. Breaking TV seasons up into two parts is nothing short of reprehensible. In comparison to producing new series, the studios have only minor production costs involved in releasing shows such as this on DVD at this late date. And at the rate they are ... Read More
