Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
gkhege Little Joe, Ben, and Hoss , of Bonanza fame, would literally roll over in their graves, if they would have to endure just one episode of the,"Young Riders ". I am just lost for adjectives to describe how bad this show was and remains. The acting is atrocious and with the insertion of historical western figures such as, Bill Cody and yes, a young Jesse James, leaves one to simply ask, why?
danijela-8 Hi everybody, I'm from czech republic, so first I must excuse my English. I love this show. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 in my country when I was a child, but never more. I couldn't forget it. I want to buy DVD, but I have a problem with English "cowboy's" speak. Can anybody tell me, if on DVD are subtitles? I don't find it. Maybe in edition for Europe? I know, you don't need them, but maybe for deaf people. I try to find them in net but without purpose. My English is good only to know what is the matter, but I don't understand any "joke or hint". Everybody here love this series, so you will understand what I mean and how much I'm unhappy. Pleas help me!!! Daniela
jaimelee2 I have all the shows taped, and although the quality is decreasing with the VHS tapes age, I still watch them. I really wish they would make this a box set on DVD. Personally I know I would pay high dollar for it!!It is hard to believe that the series was not popular then because it sure seems to be now. Seems as though somebody would take the hint. There are SEVERAL web sites still up and running and I have read many request for the show to be put on DVD. With the increasing amount of older shows being redone and sold on DVD it would be obvious to add this one. I guess all we can do is to keep hoping some one with connections will read this and offer the idea to someone in showbiz!
crazypyrojo I, and many friends, miss this show. While there were many liberties taken in the writing of the show it was very entertaining. The actors did exceptional jobs of expressing the mood and attitudes of the mid 1800's just prior to the Civil War. The Plight of the Native American people was highlighted in several episodes as was slavery. The writers used and developed characters to portray person's trapped in the non-white world. One character, Buck, played by Gregg Rainwater, developed over the three seasons from a relatively minor character of mixed blood to a highly intelligent, well read person who completely broke the misconception of the ignorant drunk Indian. I feel more could have been done with the Civil War aspect of the show but they chose to end it instead. I'm hoping this show will be released to DVD as I would like my children to see it.
