Rawhide - The Greatest TV Western, Nov 9 2011
By Gary - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Rawhide: Season 4, Volume 2 (DVD)
First, I would like to thank CBS/Paramount for continuing to produce Rawhide on DVD. However, the wait between seasons 3 and 4 was way too long. Hopefully, they will produce seasons 5 to 8 in yearly installments beginning in 2012.The artwork on the DVD's is excellent. However, someone forgot Eric Fleming on the season 4, volume 2 artwork.
CBS produced 30 episodes for the 1961-62 season.
The last two episodes filmed, "The Devil and the Deep Blue" and "Abilene" were a 2 episode arc about the herd arriving in Abilene. (This was similar to what they did in season 3, with "Near the Promised Land" and "The Big Blowout", about the herd arriving in Sedelia).
"Abilene" was scheduled to air May 18,1962, but was pulled and a a repeat of the "Peddler" aired instead. "Abilene" was next scheduled to lead off as the season premiere for the 1962-63 season, to air September 21,1962. (Coincidently, "The Devil and the Deep Blue" was rerun on Sept. 14,1962). It was again pulled from the schedule, and "Incident of El Toro" aired as the season premiere("El Toro" was rerun April 9,1964 and Dec. 25, 1964). "Abilene" was finally "burned off"(aired) on May 31,1963.
The continued reshuffling of Abilene made no sense. The 1962-63 season involved the trail drive going to Denver to feed the miners who needed beef.
Perhaps there is still a Rawhide producer and long retired CBS executive that could explain this.
I've noticed that episode guides/books sometimes list wrong original air dates of shows. This is because the network changed their minds on episodes after TV Guide, newspaper tv guides, etc. went to press. Errors are also made by viewing syndicated/cable episodes which usually have 3-5 minutes cut from the original masters, when writing about episodes.
Rawhide was a great western; top notch directors, writers, location filming.
Unfortunately, CBS made mistakes on moving Rawhide to Thursdays for the 1963-64 season, and Tuesdays for the 1965-66 season. Otherwise, I believe it could have gone another 2-3 seasons.
Would love to hear any comments,etc.
My greatest wish would be for CBS to do a reboot of Gunsmoke/Rawhide.

Great Western, Nov 23 2011

This review is from: Rawhide: Season 4, Volume 2 (DVD)
I cannot get tired of this series. I heard Westerns Channel plans to air the series starting in January. Looks like I'll be watching more of "Rawhide" than I expected. I am very picky about the picture quality of the TV shows and CBS has done a magnificent job transferring them from the original masters for this DVD release. If you are concerned about whether or not the episodes are uncut, unedited or gorgeous quality have no fear. Buy with confidence. I hope CBS puts them all out.

I always liked Rawhide. It was certainly one of the most interesting Western series with its fine actors, great production values, and sometimes unconventional plot twists. I've bought the entire series up to now.
Listmania!
