I just bought the first two seasons of this classic on retail release. Always was a favorite of mine. The video quality is excellent and best off the episodes are uncut.

I used to watch the show when I was a kid and remember liking it. Manolito and Blue were my favorite characters. Glad you were able to get a copy and are enjoying it.

Just recently started watching re-runs of High Chaparral. I had not watched this series since it was in first runs back when I was a child.

I find it interesting how my perspective on the individual characters has changed as an adult.

When I was a child, I typically saw Don Sebastian as a villain of sorts, now I appreciate him as the eccentric extended family member that he is.

As a child I tended to look up to senor Buck as a proxy authority figure. Now I see him as more or less an ill disciplined rascal (admittedly it takes one to know one)

I never really picked up on Monolito's need to continually prove himself when I was a child, now it's so hard to miss

I never back in the day realized that Linda Cristal was a big time star from Argentine show business. But knowing that now certainly changes the way her character comes across.

I still enjoy the show but the dynamics are considerably different than I remember them as a child.
