Owen Wister's 1902 western novel, The Virginian, was one of the first great novels of the American West. Set in the semi-mythical town of Medicine Bow, Wyoming in the 1890's, it chronicled the lives and relationships of the people who came west and settled the wild land.



Starring James Drury in the title role, "The Virginian" was the first 90 minute television western, airing in prime time on NBC from 1962-1971.

The stellar cast included Lee J. Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clark and Roberta Shore, and each week brought talented guest stars to "The Virginian".



Season One's line-up of luminaries reads like a who's who of Hollywood, including George C. Scott, Lee Marvin, Bette Davis, Brian Keith, Colleen Dewhurst, Hugh O'Brian, Ricardo Montalban, Eddie Albert and many more.

One of the best TV westerns. Ever.

These are not available at most stores; apparently you can find them at Sam's Club and perhaps Costco. A special Season One set comes out later. And for some reason, it seems you can also get Season Two in half sets at Sam's Club as well.

The Complete 1st Season: Collector's Tin comes with a bonus disc featuring interviews with James Drury, Roberta Shore, Gary Clark, Robert Fuller and Peter Brown.
