At last we have the start of the Warner Bros. Vault of westerns. According to rumors, we got Cheyenne first because it outsold the Maverick 3 episode disc that was a test item. Since "Cheyenne" was the first of the WB westerns, it makes some kind of sense to release it first. i would have almost preferred an anthology just like in the 50's when we had Cheyenne, Sugarfoot and Bronco in rotation. But then again-no Maverick.
As for the actual package, really great to see Clint Walker back in action. The extra profile and interview are really nice additions. Plus the first season has L.Q.Jones(one of my favorite character/supporting actors in westerns).
Hopefully this is just the first of many releases(imagine Garner doing commentary on Maverick).

Cheyenne in a DVD set is like finding pure gold in them thar hills. I hadn't seen it since the early Seventies on TV, so this first season is lonnnng overdue. Let's get the rest of them out, pronto! Each episode I've watched so far has equaled or surpassed many of the Westerns of the era that were on the Silver Screen. Sometimes a plot may seem a little well-worn, but most of the time I realize that the movie I am reminded of was made AFTER this first season. Even so, the writing, characters, and action are absolutely topnotch. Cheyenne is a hero in the sense that he reflects the quintessential American: he is big, tough, strong and has a compassion for the weak. He is, above all, honorable and demands justice for himself and all others. Seek his help and he will stay at your side, come hell or high water. But cross him, and he will pound you into the dust. That's Cheyenne. And that, I still believe, is America.

Those of us who grew up watching "Cheyenne" can experience a real treat with this 5-disc set of the first season. I loved the on-camera commentary by Clint Walker (called a "special interview") with his fascinating explanation of how he got into the business, getting cast as Cheyenne Bodie, other tidbits. (And he still looks pretty darn good.) It's fun to spot actors in very minor to strong support roles who hadn't yet hit the big time: James Garner, Michael Landon, Dennis Hopper. There are 3 episodes per disc which makes them easy to find.

I've been looking for the early TV westerns of high quality, like Cheyenne, for a long time. This release was long overdue. Clint Walker was a far better actor than people gave him creidt for, and the scripts on this show were on par with those of Have Gun, Will Travel. I urge anyone who loves the western genre to order this DVD set. I can't wait until season two becomes available. This one's a real winner.

You can't go wrong with this boxed set. I grew up watching Cheyenne and there's nothing better to entertain yourself with than this wholesome western series. One or two episodes show the age and wear and tear from the masters but over all I was pleased with the restoration of this great western. Looking forward to season two!
