  • Wagon Train season one
One of my favorite westerns at a fair price. Stars Ward Bond who played Bert on It's A Wonderful Life.
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024 by postal

  • One of the best
WT has been perhaps my favorite of all Westerns (well—maybe tied with "Laramie," more recently!) for more than 40 years—ever since I was in high school and used to race frantically home every day to catch the 4 PM broadcast of the older episodes (as “Trailmaster”!) on one of the local TV channels. Now Timeless Video at last provides us with the entire classic series, mostly (like this one) in decorative embossed color tins. Basically an anthology/ensemble series, each season follows a single year in the career of a professional wagonmaster and his staff as they take a company of emigrant hopefuls across the Western territories to California. The first season focuses on Major Seth Adams (Ward Bond), a gruff, graying Civil War veteran; his Virginia-born scout, Flint McCullough (Robert Horton); and his two old war comrades, Bill Hawks (Terry Wilson) and Charlie Wooster (Frank McGrath). (Wilson and McGrath had been Bond's friends in real life for many years, and when he was offered the part, he asked to have them in the series too. A sound role was quickly found for McGrath, who became Adams's cook, lead driver, and saddlebag doctor, but it took a while for the writers to figure out exactly what Wilson's job would be.) As the wagon train forges slowly across the Great Plains, over the Rockies and the Great Basin, and at last pulls into the meadows outside Sacramento, Adams and his people contend with the land, the lingering wounds of the war, people with hidden pasts, a swindler, a discontented wife, Indians, extortionists, outlaws, Victorian mores and prejudices, a husband whose religious convictions forbid him to seek medical aid for his injured wife, and their own pasts. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about Wagon Train was the caliber of the guest stars it had. Even in this first season, the cast roster includes Ernest Borgnine, Ricardo Montalban, Michael Rennie, Shelley Winters, Sterling Hayden, Mark Stevens, Mercedes McCambridge, Eddie Albert, Farley Granger, Agnes Moorehead, Gary Merrill, Guy Madison, Nina Foch, Anne Jeffreys, Dan Duryea, Keenan Wynn, George Montgomery, James Whitmore, Cesar Romero, Linda Darnell, Jeannie Carson, Macdonald Carey, Tom Tryon, Gilbert Roland, Debra Paget, Ralph Meeker, June Lockhart, Vanessa Drake, Virginia Grey, Charles Bickford, Wanda Hendrix, Jock Mahoney, John Drew Barrymore, James Dunn, Marjorie Main, Dane Clark, and Mona Freeman—and that's just the ones with first billing! It's also blessed with a lot of good writing: even its occasional chauvinism (“Some women are content just to be women”) fits with the attitudes of its era. (One of my favorite segments is “The Julia Gage Story,” in which a strong-willed young woman, having lost her father, has a driver wished on her by Adams, and when he falls ill with a fever, decides that in order to protect her own reputation while she nurses him, she has to be married to him—but not he to her! How she does it, and what happens afterward, is the meat of this very creatively scripted tale.) It also manages to address several large concepts, such as racial prejudice (“The Bill Tawnee Story”) and the unfortunate effects of alcoholism (“The Clara Beauchamp Story,” in which the passionately loyal but terminally bored wife of an Army officer, having turned to sherry for comfort, very nearly sets off an Indian war). Like most Westerns of its era, its continuity sometimes leaves something to be desired: in “The Jesse Cowan Story” the date is implied to be 1865, but the two-parter “The Major Adams Story” (set “two or three years” before the season itself, and definitely stated to be taking place in 1869) makes it fairly clear that Adams didn't even begin bossing wagon trains until at least '66; “The Bernal Sierra Story” occurs during the French Intervention in Mexico, and “The Rex Montana Story” seems to be set c. 1885! And, as mentioned, at first the scriptwriters didn't quite seem to know what to do with Bill Hawks: in the earliest segments he seems to be merely a passenger with a wife, but by the eighth segment he's the one Adams names to go along on a rescue mission, and in the next one he's with Adams and Wooster checking out possible danger on the trail ahead; not till “The Major Adams Story” does it become clear that, not only was he with Adams in the war, but that he (and presumably his wife) has accompanied every wagon train of Adams's since. For all that, and despite occasional historical inaccuracies (Quantrill's Raiders, Lipans and Comanches in Nebraska), it's definitely one of the best of its genre to have come out of the era of classic TV Westerns, and everyone who loves them should assemble the series without delay, starting, of course, with this season. ... show more

  • WT Season 1 - Hurray Finally
I am giving this Wagon Train Season 1 set a Five Star rating for the content. The content is the reason for owning a DVD set. Wagon Train has fine acting, good stories, and exceptional production values for its era. Wagon Train is my all time favorite TV series. The episodes I want in my collection are those from the first five seasons, when the show was on NBC and Robert Horton played Flint McCullough. This set is much better than the two previous sets from Timeless Media. The Going West set didn't have any desirable episodes. I and my friends bought the Color Season set for the season 1 - 5 episodes among the bonus episodes. Overall, Wagon Train is an exceptionally good TV series and season 1 has some very good episodes. No doubt five stars for content. Sound & picture quality and completeness: I am an avid collector who previously collected all the season 1 episodes and worked to upgrade my collection. Sound quality is good. Overall picture quality is fine, some episodes better picture than my previous best. An episode or two "might" be less crisp than my "best" copy, but maybe not. Episodes on this set generally run 49 or 50 minutes, suggesting complete episodes. I haven't found any omissions from known program content. Sarah Drummond, 46 and a half minutes, is shorter than typical. Satisfactory to me. Defective discs: I have 4 copies of this set, two with low numbers and two with high numbers. There is an imperfection on the two low numbered copies of Disc 7. When playing Marie Dupree on these two discs there is an problem that I can't go past when playing on one DVD player. A second player has a pause in the same location. A third player handles the discs with no problem. My two high number copies of Disc 7 and all the other discs seem to be fine. A friend has a problem playing John Cameron on Disc 1. Packaging: I agree that the cardboard book is an awkward way to store DVDs you watch regularly and could lead to stratched discs. I took all my discs out of the cardboard books and moved them to a CD/DVD wallet or to Tyvek sleeves in a small box for mailing CDs. Problem solved. Pricing: The $80 list price is reasonable for 39 episodes of about 50 minutes each. I would have bought at least one set at that price if I couldn't find it at a lower cost. I paid about $43, including shipping and/or tax, for each of my 4 sets. Don't pay $80 if you can do better. The November Release: The manner and timeliness of how this set was released was troublesome & sloppy. Before Christmas, I did end up with the two sets I pre-ordered and two sets I found at a local membership store. That issue has been resolved. Summary: This set has some very fine TV viewing. Buy it and enjoy it. **** Note to Timeless Media: Expect this reviewer to buy seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5. ... show more
