Great But Not Complete
Audio and Video quality are excellent. This release contains 62 of the 107 episodes. This collection is distributed by TGG Direct and copyrighted 2012 MGM (who owns the show). The MGM logo is on the packaging so this is an official release and the picture quality shows it.
Great Collection - Excellent Value
TGG Direct recently signed an agreement with MGM-TV to issue DVD collections of two of the most popular ZIV-produced programs of the 1950s - "Bat Masterson" and "Sea Hunt." We were originally told that full-season sets of both shows would likely be offered by early November 2012. As of this writing, however, this 62-episode "Bat Masterson" collection is the only one that has actually been made available. I have purchased this set and have watched several episodes and can attest that the product is excellent and is a terrific value for the price. The episodes are uncut and were evidently digitized from properly-preserved 35mm master prints. The audio and video quality are exceptional for the age of the show. The collection includes 8 discs in four boxes and the menus are very user-friendly. As a longtime fan of all of the ZIV shows, I eagerly anticipate TGG Direct's other offerings from its MGM-TV licensing agreement. I recommend this set enthusiastically!
Great Series, Great Value!
Considering what is being charged for other classic Western TV series this could be the value of the year! You get 63 episodes of this classic show starring Gene Barry. It's not the complete series. Its about 44 episodes short but for $27 this should not be a big deal. I played several episodes from the 8 discs in this set and they all had outstanding picture and sound quality and were all the full broadcast length. (about 26 minutes). You have to wonder why it will cost you around $100 to get 60 episodes of "Gunsmoke" when it's possible to get 63 episodes of this show for under $30.
