Have Gun Will Travel: The Sixth and Final Season, Vol. 2



Think you've been shorted two episodes? Read This:
If you log onto Internet Movie Database, you'll see Season 6 contained "34" episodes, but only 32 are appear in this two volume season set. Huh?

Here's the breakdown: "Sanctuary" originally aired December 31, 1960. So it's included in Season 4, Volume 1. "Squatter's Rights" originally aired December 30, 1961, and is included in Season 5, Volume 1.
Under Season 6, Internet Movie Database lists "Sanctuary" as having aired on June 22, 1963, and "Squatter's Rights" as having aired on August 3rd of '63; several months after the final new episode of the series aired. Therefore, IMDB lists season 6 as having 34 episodes, not the 32 included in Vol. 2 DVD set.

Since the two episodes in question were summer repeats, there was no need to place them on the season 6 set. Hope this clears up the confusion.

4 stars are for weak scripts and Paramount's continued greediness in its multi-volume pricing of TV show season sets.

Picture and sound is great!
HGWT is another of my favorites from my childhood. I used to watch it on Saturday night, along with Gunsmoke, with my mom and dad.

The picture is top-notch and the sound is very good. Some of the episodes are a cut belong the earlier years as I've read the Richard Boone was getting tired of the show. I'm so GLAD that the movie version with Eminem that was to update the story to a bounty hunter in modern day Detroit was finally dropped - that would have been a disaster of the first order!!

But anyway, even thro the series had dropped off a little it is still very fun to watch today.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!
Love the series, love Richard Boone - glad the dvd's are finally coming out for the final season - seems like forever !!

Wish it was just one set, but I will take what I can get!
