McCloud is one of the great series in the 1970's. Dennis Weaver was a
great actor that had so many talents. The whole series bring many great
actors into the episodes. The photography is fantastic, something we don't see often today. The music, direction and stories will keep your
attention completely. One thing I cannot understand, why Universal has not
released more seasons??? They have only released season's one and two and that has been at least 5 years ago. Get on the ball Universal! There are customers out there wanting to purchase the complete series.

I guess that Universal stopped releasing McCloud on DVD based on the sales result of season 1&2.
But their decision is wrong, because McCloud really found itself in season 3.
We love McCloud because of its character, humor, and action.
Although the character element is there in season 1&2, we do not see as much humor and action as we would like to see in the series.
All the masterpiece episodes such as "The New Mexican connection", "The Colorado Cattle caper", "The Park Avenue rustlers", "Butch Cassidy rides again", and the "Alamo" episodes are after season 3 onwards.
Their story-line is impossible without McCloud in its central character while all the stories in season 1&2 can work in any detective series.
I do hope that Universal release all the remaining seasons. That should help the sales of season 1&2 DVD as well.
As to season 1&2 DVD, I am happy that they are finally available on DVD.
But unfortunately season 1&2 are not really the McCloud we love. And it is unforgivable that all the season 1 episodes are edited.

McCloud has a character. He is really someone. The stories are good. It is never faded, after 35 years and more.

Hello all you Mc Cloud fans. First to Mr. "Professional Musician" You LOSE the arm wrestle contest. Why??? Be...cause I believe I'm a bigger fan and here's why. Back in the late 60's and early to mid 70's, there was no such thing as Batamaxes and VCR's so I would record TV shows on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, mostly "It Takes A Thief" which I believe to have every show and waiting for them to bring it out on DVD. Back in the 70's CB's were all the rage and Mc Cloud was my CB handle. I wore cowboy boots in the warehouse where I worked. The guys at work called me "Tex". I wore the same cowboy boots in the very first 18 hole round of golf I played.
Anyway, here's some facts for the rest of you fans, the Mc Cloud pilot came out on "NBC Tuesday Night at the Movies Premier" His coat was a swede coat with lambs wool lining, not a tweed. I now have to match the DVD's I have with my tapes to see if in fact they did hack and edit the heck out of them. I could go on with more, but I forget what everyone else wrote.
Back to my tapes. Because I did enjoy my TV back then, I would record all kinds of shows. Mod Squad, Hawaii 5-0, Bill Cosby comedy specials, Laugh-In with William F. Buckley. I also have the last "Chet Huntley & David Brinkley" news report, the list goes on and on. Who knew back then that there would be home video recorders. I think I've said enough for this review, but have much more infromation.

Producers, are you listening?
We want all the remaining seasons of McCloud. The current DVD set of seasons 1 and 2 has only served to wet our appetite. The later seasons include some of the funniest scenes of McCloud ever. First, there is McCloud investigating a stolen car ring that specializes in luxury cars. McCloud goes undercover to investigate, and then starts stealing cars himself, then calls Chief Clifford on the phone and says "Chief, I just stole my first car"!
Next episode, McCloud takes an unauthorized trip to Rome Italy, and then calls Broadhurst from there. Broadhurst then runs in the Chief's office and shouts "McCloud is on the phone, he is calling from Rome." Chief says, "Rome New York?" Broadhurst says, "No, Rome Italy". Chief grabs the phone and shouts "McCloud, what are you doing in Italy". Later, the same thing happens, except this time from London England.
Next episode, McCloud is somewhere out west, again undercover, in a bar room with a bunch of crooks sitting at a table, when Chief Clifford (who was desperately looking for him) walks in the door. Just as Chief Clifford yells out "McCloud"....Dennis Weaver jumps up from the table (still trying to conceal his cover to the crooks) and yells out 'Who You Callin Loud" and decks the Chief hard in the face. A big fight results, the sheriff jumps in and says "All right, who started this" Someone else yells out "He Did" and points to the unconscious Chief Clifford lying on the floor!
There were other episodes with John Denver, including a duet with them both singing.
Please bring back all of the later seasons. We want them. Thanks
