Summary: Saddle up!
Comment: MILL CREEK box sets offer good-to-average-quality audio and video transfers of public domain material at a most reasonable price.
The majority of WESTERN TV CLASSICS 150 Episodes is new installments of several television series available on MILL CREEK's previous DVD set, ULTIMATE TV WESTERNS 150 Episodes. Additionally, there's six shows here that didn't appear on the "Ultimate" set.
If you don't own either of these 150 episode collections yet, MCE has conveniently combined them into their CLASSIC TV WESTERNS 300 Episodes box set. This 24 DVD multi-pack contains 134½ hours of 1950s and '60s cowboy-themed programming.
For an extensive roundup of theatrical western "series," check out MCE's WESTERN 250 Movie Pack. This cowboy king of DVD box sets has such 1930s-'40s movie series as Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rough Riders, Sgt. Renfrew, Three Mesquiteers, Range Busters, Hoot Gibson and Texas Rangers, plus feature films as recent as the 1990s. It's a marvelous and enormously diverse collection!

Summary: 150 Episodes of Western Public Domain Goodness
Comment: Western TV Classics is a collection of 150 episodes from 29 different Western TV shows from the days when Hollywood knew how to make great Westerns on both the big and small screens. I paid $21.99 for my set and considering that you can pay $5 and higher for just 4 episodes of one of these shows, you cannot complain about the price. The reason why you can get so many episodes for such a low price is that all of these shows are in the public domain. The quality of the prints used in this collection vary, but overall you will get a fairly decent picture on your screen.
The really great thing about this collection is that it is not limited to the usual suspects, that is shows such as Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon & Shotgun Slade that are quite easy to find and obtain. The collection also includes such hard to find shows as Brave Eagle, Northwest Passage, Range Rider, Stoney Burke, Sugarfoot & Wide Country.
