Description:
Cheyenne follows the adventures of Cheyenne Bodie. Cheyenne was a big man, a former army scout who went west after the American Civil War and drifted from job to job, here a cowboy, there a lawman, and always a larger-than-life hero.
Amazon.com:
No collection of classic TV Westerns is complete without Cheyenne, the trailblazing 1955 series that premiered within weeks of Gunsmoke. The strapping Clint Walker stars as Cheyenne Bodie, the iconic role that earned him his place in the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Cheyenne is a classic Western hero in the drifter tradition, accepting jobs ranging from frontier scout to trail boss. In this first season, he is accompanied at times by sidekick Smitty (L.Q. Jones). 'It takes about a minute to know a man,' one character remarks during the course of Cheyenne's first season. But we size up Cheyenne in an instant. He is a man of honor, straight shooting and plainspoken. In one episode, he declines an offered position of ranch foreman. 'I don't like the job,' he states, 'and when I don't like a job, I turn it down.' When a woman refers to Indians as 'savages' in the first episode, Cheyenne enlightens her, 'The Indians think we're the savages.' Several episodes, including 'Quicksand' and 'The Last Train West,' echo the John Ford masterpiece, Stagecoach, as Cheyenne finds himself amongst a diverse and disparate group of people who are thrown together by circumstance.
Cheyenne was part of a new breed of 'adult Western.' The episode 'Johnny Bravo' (was this the inspiration for Greg's rock star nom de plume on The Brady Bunch?) deals with a rancher who disapproves of his daughter's affair with a Mexican. Keep a sharp lookout for actors who would later become Hollywood's most wanted. A pre-Maverick James Garner appears as different characters in three episodes. Dennis Hopper is hot-triggered gunfighter the Utah Kid, in 'Quicksand.' And that's the future Miss Hathaway, Nancy Kulp, as a sassy waitress in 'Johnny Bravo.' Cheyenne was originally broadcast as one of three rotating series under the banner, Warner Brothers Presents, but it quickly established itself as the runaway hit. Like the best Westerns, it is anything but quaint nostalgia. With its timeless setting, compelling stories, charismatic hero, and positive values, the sun will never set on Cheyenne. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Cheyenne
We loved this series. I remembered it from when I was younger. I recommend it anyone who loves westerns but does not like the ones made today with so much killing and not enough story. looking forward to the 2nd series.
Rating:  - Cheyenne
I love what I have seen so far of this DVD. It was made in 1955 and the stories are still good and keep us interested. It is amazing the difference between this and some of the TV shows of today. They have put in a lot of work to make Cheyenne a great show.
Rating: - Warner Bros. - Where are the rest??
This has got to be one of the best, if not THE best western series of all time. It's at least as good as Rawhide. I'm baffled why Warner Bros. hasn't released more. I'm sure it's not a technical problem. Then it relates back to the almighty dollar and low sales I imagine. Come on you Cheyenne fans, write or email Warner Bros. and tell them you would like more years of Cheyenne released. I hope Warner Bros. reads these reviews.
Rating: - Cheyenne- 1st Season
I remember the series, but could not remember the episodes. This is great bringing back the oldies and goodies. Now, I will see if Sugarfoot is available.
Rating: - A Historical TV Series.
A Historical TV Series.
Perfect image in Black and white. Clasic histories of the West.
They miss other languages, like the Spanish.
We waited for the Second season with impatience
