Customer Reviews of Alias Smith & Jones - Season One
Good fun The Glen Larson commentary on the pilot is sparse--he doesn't talk most of the time, and he does't talk about Duel or Murphy much at all. But it does have some interesting historical tidbits and info on what was going through the minds of the show's creators. It may not be much, but compared to the non-existent special features on other old t.v. westerns, it's very, very welcome. <

>I liked the way the main menu came up--it looks like a wanted poster is being hung, then bang, bang, bang, bang as four nails are being hammered in. <

>I also really like the theme music and the music during the episodes. This show is just so darn good-natured--you can't help but enjoy it. Most of the episodes really do deal with the problems a couple of train robbers might encounter while trying to go straight. Duel and Murphy play it just right--not too heavy and not too light. They both just look so easy going and natural, and their friendship seems very real. The characters of Heyes and Curry never come off as preachy or like martyrs--they just seem like two decent men who really do try to help out anyone in trouble. They stand up for themselves, but in a smart way--they never seem cocky. Heyes and Curry never blend into each other--they are two very distinct characters. <

>It's an uneven season--there are some clunkers on disc two, but overall it's a great show. Because it's over 30 years old, the episodes strech out towards 50 minutes, too, which is a plus for modern viewers. <

>If you like buddy movies and buddy stories, you can't go wrong here.
Just As Good As I Remember
I was so excited to find out this series was finally coming out on DVD. I got my copy yesterday and it was even better than I remembered. It looked quite good on my 32" flat panel TV. I watched the pilot episode which I'm not sure I've seen before. This series doesn't disappoint and doesn't have a dated feel to it. Maybe because it already takes place in another time? The chemistry of Pete Duel and Ben Murphy is fabulous. The humor and the way it underplays itself holds up very nicely. I'm hoping this series will be a success so that the next two seasons will also be released. Season 2 is probably the best of the bunch as that's when Duel and Murphy really hit their stride. Most sadly, Pete Duel committed suicide during the second season and was immediately replaced by Roger Davis. Davis does an excellent job considering the incredibly tough situation he was put into. Though Davis and Murphy work very well together its still not the same. Enjoy this classic series. It was an original in its day and still holds up that way.
About time...
This is the best of tv westerns (in my humble opinion) and has taken lots of fans pestering Universal to release it on DVD. Now they have, brilliant. I'm now eagerly waiting Season 2.
