I was 11 years old when Bonanza first aired. I watched every chance I had through my teens and early adult life. Since then I have tried to catch reruns whenever possible. I resisted buying those "Fan Favorites" offers because I knew what would happen. Maybe (or not) I would finally get that one episode that I liked best, but I would also get at least 3 duplicate copies of other episodes that I consider a little less than great.
Now I can get all 14 seasons with just one copy of each episode and be able to play my favorites when I want to see them. No more tuning in a rerun HOPING it is one of my favorites. I have watched about half of season 1 so far and am almost completely satisfied. Yes, I said almost.
It irritates me when I slip in a DVD of one of my favorite TV shows and there is no option to "play all." I'm settling back for a few hours of my favorite show, and I can't just say play all the episodes on this disk. I have to select the second episode after the first one is finished, then select the third, etc. It's not that selecting another episode is such hard work for me or my thumb, it is just sloppy programming. I worked with computers and did some programming, so I know it is not hard work to place such an option on the menu. I hope that will be corrected with season 2.
And please do not release half the seasons and then just quit on your customers. I have 4 seasons of another one of my favorite shows, and now have been waitng 2 years for the last 5 seasons. Don't do this to me again, Paramount!

It was a long wait, but without a doubt, worth every moment of waiting. This 'first season" set is beautifully designed, jam-packed with "extras" that will delight Bonanza fans all around the world. Interviews, pictures, stories make this set "extra" special, along with the wonderful first season episodes that paved the way for Bonanza's amazing fourteen seasons on television. Created and cast by producer David Dortort: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon made Bonanza and the amazing Cartwrights come to life, touch our hearts, and live forever in television history.
The only thing missing is the 13 seasons that followed this wonderful first season debut, and I am anxiously looking forward to the release of the rest of this series. I highly recommend buying this first season set and all the Bonanza releases to follow. This "official" release is a fantastic treasure!

It was wonderful to see the original 1957 NBC peacock included on an episode each of Volume 1, "A Rose For Lotta" (1959) and volume 2, "The Avenger" (1960), which was a predecessor to the famous Laramie Peacock, first used to introduce an episode of the western Laramie, in 1962, and used regularly until the mid-1970's, and which still gets trotted out occaisionally for specials.
This two pack (full season) release is great for the fabulous looking episodes, bumpers, photographs, and interviews.

Gorgeous color, perfect sound and picture galleries that left me with a smile. The interviews and clips add insights and nostalgia value, too. The quality is close to flawless. I hope to see more releases soon.

I am in love with Bonanza all over again!! The episodes are perfect and the extras are absolutely wonderful. So many pictures I have never seen before and the interviews with David Dortort are priceless. I have waited so long for these dvds and now they are here!! Just good to know it was worth every second of the wait; they are fabulous and I am already anxious for the next season.
