Product Description
The Virginian - The Complete Season Two - 30 full color episodes! Special Embossed Tin! Owen Wister's 1902 western novel The Virginian was one of the first great novels of the American West. Set in the semi-mythical town of Medicine Bow, Wyoming in the 1890s, it chronicled the lives and relationships of the people who came west and settled the wild land. Starring James Drury in the title role, The Virginian was the first 90 minute television western, airing in prime time on NBC from 1962-1971. The stellar cast included Lee J. Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clark and Roberta Shore, and each week brought talented guest stars to The Virginian. Season Two's line-up includes Joan Blondell, Broderick Crawford, Everett Sloan, Pat O'Brien, Iron Eyes Cody, Jane Wyatt and many more!

Awesome series
By Ken-Ken213
I started out watching westerns about two years ago and my passion for them was mostly due to The Big Valley. This show never even crossed my radar until about 4 weeks ago and even then it took a while for me to get into, but now I'm so addicted to it that hardly a moment passes when I don't mention it. People are starting to get irritated too. It's a great show and worth a watch! The episodes are restored wonderfully on the release of Season 1. I can't wait for the release of season 2!

By Reader
The Virginian was a quality show in every way--the cast, writing, cinematography, music, etc. Imho it was the best Western of the 1960s. The second season starts out with a great episode that gives the back story for Trampas. The picture quality seems to me just as good as season one--and in fact maybe a little bit better. What they were trying to do with The Virginian was make a whole little B-Western movie each week, and for the most part they pulled it off. Highly recommended.
James Drury stars as The Virginian and Doug McClure co-stars as Trampas. They are both great in these roles. The Virginian is tall, dark, handsome, and mostly serious, while Trampas is blond and buff and has a devil-may-care attitude at times. The rest of the cast is excellent too, and each week there are fine guest stars, including in this season Royal Dano (who was also the voice of Lincoln for Disney's Meet Mr. Lincoln), Gena Rowlands, Robert Redford, Slim Pickens, Yvonne de Carlo, Dick York, Mariette Hartley, Deforest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy of later Star Trek fame (in the same episode!), Jack Klugman, Peter Graves, etc., etc...
And as the earlier reviewer said, Timeless has now fixed the packaging. The DVDs are now in cases rather like they have for the original Star Trek series on blu-ray. I didn't have problems with the packaging for season one, but I do prefer the new packaging.
