A Timeless TV Western
Review created: 08/06/08(updated 08/06/08)

Branded first aired in January 1965, while I was a young cavalryman myself. All of 7 years old and bounding throughout the neighborhood with my MARX US Cavalry sidearms and saber while rinding my bannana seated Sears bicycle (er,ah horse). My friends and I recreated many of the episodes found in this Season One.
Chuck Connors, former pro baseball player and TV icon best known for his role in The Rifleman portrays Jason McCord, a former Captain in the US Cavalry. McCord is the lone survivor of the Battle of Bitter Creek, where his fellow troopers and commanding officer are massacred by the Apache Indians. The army judged him to be a deserter, stripped him of rank and sent him in disgrace into the world. McCord roams the West in search of redemption and justice for others, many of whom know of the widly publicised battle and court martial of the former Captain Jason McCord.
Series One begins in black & white film footage, like the originals and will end in colorized episodes. TV and Entertainment stars like Peter Graves, Claude Akins, John Carradine, Cesar Romero, Bruce Dern and many more grace these well preserved weekly shows. If you like Western action or always root for the guy with the odds against him, you will love this series.
Bonus features are: The Rifleman "Day of the Hunter" episode + Four Star Playhouse: "Vote of Confidence" with Chuck Connors + Chuck Connors' Biography.
Enjoy, this is all great DVD viewing.
