Rating:  - Disappointed
I was disappointed in this set. Some of the tracking on the disks is poor and the awful theme music is different than the series. This wonderful series deserves better.
Rating: - Title is a Mis-nomer
The correct title should have been "Uncopy-righted Episodes of Bonanza". Obviously, Mill Creek didn't want to pay any royalties so even the theme song was substituted with a cheesy recording of the company owner's brother strumming a guitar (just my guess). My poor review is not a slight against the Bonanza series. These are actually excellent. I just feel duped because I can pull these epsidoes down off the Internet for free.
Rating: - Hopeless
The other reviews here are spot-on. The faux theme music sounds like something from a bad spaghetti western. The picture is a bit choppy at times, but that's what you get when you cram eight or nine episodes of an hour-long show onto a SINGLE-SIDED DVD! Yes, these are single-sided, so you can image the compression that was required.
And yet, for the price I would glady endure all that, if the silly discs would actually play. I've tried three separate copies, Discs 1 and 3 won't play ... Read More
Rating: - Ok, I guess
It has some episodes that aren't on other collections, but it also had lots of areas where the dvd would freeze, could have been just my copy.
Why can't they just start at season one?
Rating: - Whut?
Okay, fine! I know that Bonanza's story telling method is dated, is aimed at general TV audiences, and as such, has time constraints and is gonna be lacking. But this lacks the original music and I feel really cheated! Only a few of these episodes are stellar, but the music always was. I'm sorry, but Bonanza is not Bonanza without David Rose's Theme song! Now this here's sumpin' to start a shootin'war over, and Ben Cartwright would not be pleased!
On the other hand, the stories are fun, ... Read More
