Product Description
From Amazon.com
The premise behind this revisionist Western from executive producer Jonas McCord (Earth: Final Conflict, Ask the Dust) was novel enough: veteran character actor Anthony Zerbe ran a Pony Express station, and counted among his diverse group of riders such future legends of the Old West as Wild Bill Hickok (Josh Brolin) and Buffalo Bill Cody (Stephen Baldwin; Christopher Pettiet would join them in the series' third and final season as a youthful Jesse James). Ostensibly, the Riders' job was to deliver the U.S. mail, but somehow, adventure kept intervening, and the Riders rallied valiantly to defend escaped slaves ("Black Ulysses"), give testimony in the case of a stagecoach massacre ("Speak No Evil"), and even deal with their own growing fame ("Ten-Cent Hero," which addresses the pulp mythologizing of Hickok). Of course, there was always time for a little romance as well, especially between Hickok and comely housemother Emma Shannon (Melissa Leo, who departed the show after this season for more modern pastures on Homicide: Life in the Street). A host of notable guest stars supported the uniformly fine cast, including Cynthia Nixon ("Gathering Clouds") and Chris Penn ("Matched Pair"). The lack of any extras is something of a disappointment. --Paul Gaita
Description
Saddle up for fun and adventure with “The Young Riders”! Set in the early days of the Pony Express, the series tells the fictionalized story of a group of young riders for the express in Sweetwater, Kansas, who just happen to include a couple of dudes who would one day go down in real-life history as two of the west’s most notorious names: “Buffalo Bill” Cody (Stephen Baldwin) and “Wild Bill” Hickock (Josh Brolin). In charge of the bunch is ex-Texas ranger and all-around eccentric teaspoon hunter (Anthony Zerbe). See how they all put the wild in the wild, wild west in this complete first season of “The Young Riders.”

Best Western Series Ever!,

This review is from: Young Riders S1: Comp (DVD)
This is an excellent western series. I love westerns and loved this the first time I watched it. My husbend doesn't like westerns but I got him hooked on this one. The acting is amazing. Although it is not fully acurate history they do very well at developing the chacters into what they will become in the years to follow. This is one DVD I can watch over and over and never get bored with it. Can't wait till season 2 and 3 come out!

Excellent Show,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Riders S1: Comp (DVD)
Bringing back the legends of the old west couldn't have been done better. A good wholesome TV western. I watched the whole series back in the 90's and the end of the series is just as incredible as the rest. Can't wait till season 2 and the final season 3 arrive.
