Roy Bean
Edgar Buchanan (Petticoat Junction) stars as the irascible legendary frontier Judge who came to tame a town and bring law and order to the good folks in Langtry, Texas, the toughest portion of the west according to the show's opening. The Judge solves the town's problems with wit and gunplay if necessary. According to legend, Judge Roy Bean (aka the 'Hanging Judge') held court in his saloon along the Rio Grande but this incarnation doesn't sell booze, he's a kindly storekeeper. There's little authenticity here but that's expected of a TV series from 1956. Seen frequently were western greats Lash LaRue, Russell Hayden, X. Brands (Yancy Derringer) and Glenn Strange (Gunsmoke). The series was filmed in color (very rare for this time) at Frontiertown, California whatever that was. It's all enjoyable fun in the way those simple TV westerns were. Nothing too exciting but pleasurable enough. Fans of horse operas or Edgar Buchanan will enjoy it especially considering the low price - about 6 bucks for a two disc 10 episode collection. These episodes are mildly amusing and the picture and sound look quite good considering the source. Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 TV on DVD Reviews:  |

Carol Burnett Show on DVD
FEATURES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: Smashing early-1950s dramatizations of
the capturing of real life gangsters like Alvin Karpas, John Dillinger
and Durable Mike. This is one of those great old time radio
shows that carried over to television but like most radio transplants
it never took hold despite being an A-1 production. (Gangbusters ran
for one year on TV, 1952, but the radio version lasted from 1935 until
1957.) It's really effective overall with real life law enforcement
types introducing the stories. Shot in real life locations makes the drama
all that more appealing and realistic. It's melodramatic and strikes
that perfect 1950's film noir cord with one of the most over the top
openings of all time. Gangbusters was syndicated under the
title Captured. This DVD release looks and sounds great,
especially when you consider how old the footage is - the price is right
as well, 10 episodes for around 6 bucks. Definitely recommended! Format: Black & White, DVD-Video, NTSC DVD Release Date: September 12, 2006
