Comments about PBS Pioneers of Television: Westerns DVD:

Wow. Just watched "Pioneers of Television: Westerns" that I had recorded this week. Amazing piece of work. If you're a person around age 50 and grew up on TV and the Westerns, this program is nothing short of spectacular. The original footage and back-stories are so beautiful. And I defy anyone who truly loved these shows and that era to watch this program and not have a tear in your eye.
To see the wonderful actors then and some now is moving. Thank you PBS for this wonder slice of Americana. At it's best. When we were possibly at our best. I'll be ordering my copy tonight.
