I remember seeing a few episodes of this when I was nine years old --- I thought it was stupid even then. I would imagine that the core demographic for this type of show would be your younger set, so if a nine-year-old found it to be stupid, it is not surprising that the show quickly sank like a rock.
Few shows were as totally derivative as this one. Everything was so obviously an attempt to duplicate "Gilligan's Island" --- with a little "F Troop" thrown in, perhaps --- that every viewer with any sort of memory would realize that it has all been done before. Even Gilligan fans found this to be stupid.
I can't imagine that anybody but the most hardcore of Bob Denver fans would feel the need to acquire this. The only good thing one can say about this is that it is cheap, but I am amazed that anybody saw fit to release this on DVD. Good grief.

is Dusty's Trail. Situations here are slightly more believable. The non-Bob Denver actors are all about as good as the GI cast (though Ivor Francis as rich Mr. Brookhaven is a little inferior to Jim Backus as Mr. Howell). This is one of Denver's better post-GI efforts as he shines very well as Dusty. I just bought this on DVD having seen four DT series eps strung together on VHS minus the laugh track (which was put back on this DVD version). I love DT.

Ummm...for this to be labled as a "classic TV" show may be a bit of a stretch. Now I'm operating on memory here as this show goes back some 30 years or so to the mid 1970's.
Basically the show is Gilligan's Island in the west. Except rather than being marooned on an Island, it's the story of a carriage lost in the west journeying from town to town.
Bob Denver reprises his Gilligan role, this time as Dusty one of the inept carriage drivers who constantly bungles everything. Forrest Tucker basically plays the Alan Hale Jr. role as the other driver and boss who is always yelling and blaming Gilligan...err...Dusty for everything.
The passengers of the wagon match..almost exactly those found on Gilligan with the rich person, the starlet, the country girl, etc...
I mean I guess for the price it's not a bad deal but you really...REALLY have to be a huge fan I would say...
