Cheyenne was one of the all time great western series. Along with Gunsmoke, it is the series that started the trend towards adult westerns on TV.
Warners released season one last year on June 6th. However, as far as I'm aware still no word on if, or when, Season 2 might be released. I notice F Troop, which had a season one boxset released about the same time as Cheyenne last year, has been already announced for a season 2 set.
The Season 1 DVD that came out last year was excellent. However, season 1 was probably not truly representative of the series for a number of reasons.
First, the episodes that originally aired in season one were much shorter than in future seasons, running only around 41 minutes or so, as Warners apparently used the remaining time to do promotions for their then current theatrical releases. In season 2 the episodes increased in length to a more normal running time for an hour length show. I have read some of the reviews from customers on the on line sites such as Amazon, and some of them were complaining about getting shortchanged because they suspect the episodes had been trimmed in length when in fact that was their original length.
Also, in season 1 the theme music was different from the that used in all the other seasons. I believe the familiar Cheyenne theme music began being used in Season 2.
Also, most of the episodes in season one were excellent, however as good as they were, many feel that the series, got even better in the second season, when many of its most renowned epsiodes aired.
I would respectfully ask that Warners give fair consideration to giving this superb ultra high quality western series a second season on DVD. I don't know what the sales figures were for the season 1 set, however as discussed above there may have been many extenuating circumstances that made season 1 not a wholly representative test of the strength of this series.
It would be nice to hear from anyone who has any information or thoughts on if, or when, a second season of Cheynne might be released. Also, this might be a good opportunity for those who want to see a Season 2 to voice their interest. Thanks.
