If you are 50-something, and watched a lot (too much?) tv as a child, the "Rawhide" dvd collection should bring a lot of memories flooding back.
The series has great stars, great writing, and more location shooting then I recalled (not as many obviously painted backdrops as I remembered from watching the reruns in the 70's).
The quality of the dvds are acceptable, but not as glorious as the "Gunsmoke" videos. With the release of Rawhide, Have Gun will Travel, and Twilight Zone (all now on dvd), you can actually come close to recreating a Friday night in the late 50's on CBS (at least as I remember it). If that sounds scary....it's because it is!

I really dislike seeing Rawhide being promoted as a Clint Eastwood show including the DVD covers which relegate Eric Fleming to the background. Eric Fleming is the lead and lynchpin of this show, and had he not died tragically at an early age, and Eastwood gone on to other things, we would not be seeing this fine actor and man slighted in this fashion.
This is a great show, holds riveting interest even after all these years, and had many excellent actors as guests.

Rawhide is my all time most favorite western series & I can't tell you how excited I was to receive this collection for Christmas. It's been a long time since I last saw this show on TV, but this collection makes the wait all worth while. The quality of these DVD's are outstanding & they are put together so well. If you're a fan of good acting & true to life westerns, then look no further than the Rawhide collection series on DVD. I still say that Clint Eastwood did some of his best acting in this series & it's also fun to watch for the many now famous guest stars that appeared on the show. I've already watched all 22 episodes of season 1 & am now looking forward to building my collection all the way through season 8.

It is very misleading for them to put a color photograph on the cover without a big disclaimer stating that it is presented as shot, in black and white.
However, this is THE GREATEST television cowboy series ever. Better than "Maverick", better than "Wagon Train", better than "Gunsmoke", better than "Daniel Boone", better than all of them.
Why?
Because, first and foremost, the writing is fantastic. Almost each story is unpredictable, has twists of fate you don't expect, and sometimes the characters surprise you with their actions, because they are real human beings, not cardboard cutouts of characters.
The series is shot beautifully, directed impeccably, and acted excellently.
I had forgotten how good this was, but got it just for nostalgia. After I watched it, I realized how great it is!
I would recommend this series to ANYone and EVERYone! Doesn't matter if you are old or young, if you like good tv shows, you'll like this!
Just for comparison, I love the new shows, like "The Shield", "24", "Prison Break" and so on. True, these particular shows are highly suspenseful and faster moving than "Rawhide". But if you like well-written stories with good characters and good twists and turns, with drama and a little humor thrown in, you will love this, as I do.

Can anyone tell me if these Rawhide DVDs are in color or black & white? I want to buy them all for a gift, but would like to know first if they are in color or not. Thank you.
