Press Release Paramount Press Release: Bonanza: The Complete Series (DVD) (3 Viewers)

Maybe paying for the rights precluded adding this to the bonus features? Lorne Greene sings his top 40 hit Ringo on The Alan Sherman Show, 1965...

That could indeed be the reason-- they can't get everything the stars did, whether within the series or outside of it.

They are actually redoing Season 2 and releasing it separately?? Now if they can only do that for Rawhide Seasons 1&4 and Have Gun- Will Travel Seasons 1-3!! I'm guessing, though, those shows aren't as popular as Bonanza..

Only way I see it for rawhide is if ( God forbid) Clint passes away. Supposedly it will have a bluray release ( 1 season) this year. As for bonanza maybe we will get a bluray release later down the line for a cheaper price.

Currently Amazon is selling the brand new season sets for 57 bucks a piece. DO NOT BUY from them atm. The only new single season release still at its original suggested retail price of $50.99 is the new version of Season 2.

 

[GMBurns]

I buy a lot of stuff from importcds.com. They have season 2 and 12-14 right now from $40.68 - $41.45. Much more palatable.

They also have "The Complete Series" set for $208, which is a great deal.

I'd also like to have the Back to Bonanza retrospective from 1993. That probably belongs to another company. It's only been released in PAL format. The three reunions and The Ponderosa series would also be nice

Although I don't like 'Bonanza' near as much s Gunsmoke, I'll be getting this day one. I already have the first three seasons, and season 7 oddly enough. It will be a hard pill to swallow to give up those awesome episode trivia, air date, and filming locations though. They were the coolest bit of text I have ever seen on season sets.

Are you saying then that the individual cases will simply list the episode titles, and nothing else?

Pretty sure the complete series set will have no information except gray discs with episode titles. While the previous releases went all out on the inlay

Those bonuses that were on the original volume releases will still be in the all-in-one, won't they?

Yeah the discs will have the same content as the previous releases. I'm sure it won't have inlay trivia and episode specifics.

That's good to hear (that the all-in-one will have the same bonuses as the volume releases [albeit only the episode names will be listed]).

BTW, that "Denver McKee" outing had great game show host Bob Barker (him of Truth or Consequences and TPIR fame [I believe he's known more for TPIR]) playing a bit part; he was Mort, who competed with Little Joe (Michael Landon) for the affections of a young woman named Connie, as I understand it.

Here's the episode:

They could have added a couple of episodes of Griff, which NBC owns.

Who is the good looking gal?

One reason why I may not get the entire set, although I hate to pay extra to buy Seasons 9-14 separately. I have 1-8. Not sure at this point what I will do.

 

[bmasters9]

Who is the good looking gal?

I think that could have been the Connie that Bob Barker's character Mort was hitting on and competing with Little Joe for.

Do you know the name of the actress?

 

[bmasters9]

Do you know the name of the actress?

Natalie Trundy was in the role of Connie.
