Bootlegged Copies (Addendum.. MAYBE not bootlegged)
My original review (& it’s addendum) describing the quality of this set are below. For true fans, there are a couple of episodes that are worth having because they include scenes that are not shown on STARZ or on GRIT. “Saddle & Spur” includes a scene between Slim and Jess and the owner of the Diamond D that is central to the boys figuring out what is really going on. It certainly sets-up the next scene. “Men of Defiance” includes a scene in which Jess explains to the U.S. Marshall what happened to Jess’ family and why he is helping the Marshall. It’s good back-story on Jess. The sound on the discs is really terrible, though.Original Review:These are bootlegged. Poor quality cover phot was the first tip-off. Then I compared them to legitimate copies owned by others. The cover is an exact duplicate of the legitimate set, but very grainy. The disc menu stinks. The video quality has lots of imperfections (the show is “cleaner” on GRIT TV). There are bar codes on each individual DVD (unlike the real ones). There is NO episode list - the real ones have the episodes listed ON EACH DISC.Addendum:I have since been told (not by Amazon) that Amazon has the digital copies and burns discs like this on-demand when ordered. That could be, and does seem practical. Even so, I expected better. These absolutely ARE on writable DVDs (The discs say DVD-R format; my Blu-ray played reads them as DVD+R.) They do seem to play okay, EXCEPT in my DVD player/burner. (Someone else who has these told me that they will NOT play in her Blu-ray player, but play fine on her regular DVD players.)I’ve been watching them, trying to decide whether or not to send them back, as this may be all that is available in the U.S. (Apparently, there are digitally remastered copies available in Germany.) The picture quality is that of an old western - with no digital enhancement or “remastering”. (Sometimes it looks like they scanned the film without bothering to dust it off first.) Picture appears better with a little adjustment of the TV to get good black & white contrast. The sound quality is not great.Episode One, “Stage Stop” is in black & white. In syndication, I have only seen “Stage Stop” in color. Don’t know why it is black & white on the DVDs. (The other episodes of Season 1 are, and always have been, black & white.)

Robert Fuller is one of my favorite actors . He and the Kate John Smith really shine in this series.
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013
The essence of Laramie rested on the relationship between the two main characters...Slim and Jess! Season 1 began with how the two came together and how the friendship began. The story was never the main focus....the same themes reverberated throughout every existing western series. They were reworked and rewritten over and over again. The year is 1870....five years after the end of the Civil War. John Smith is Slim Sherman...basically confident, moral, hardworking, loyal, and a product of a seemingly loving family and stable home. He has ties to the community and deep roots already established. Into his life rides one Jess Harper (Robert Fuller)....a bone-weary gunfighter with no roots, a hair-trigger temper, and poor self image....who moves from place to place....and as he tells the younger brother, Andy, has gotten used to the lonliness of his life (though there is a certain sadness when he says that!) Thrown together because of a dangerous situation, Jess is offered a job on the Sherman Ranch. He accepts the offer....and therein lies the basis of the series. Jess moves in and out of life on the ranch...but always returns. Somehow we know he will always come back....just as we know he will find a reason to leave. It takes time for it to become a home for him. Still, his troubles (as Slim says) always remain a part of who he is.
The casting of Smith and Fuller was perfect. Smith was first signed to play Jess....but someone realized he would be a better Slim Sherman. Fuller was cast as Jess Harper. The rapport between them was excellent...they were a wonderful fit...and when they shared the story and the screen, Laramie worked very well. And, then as happens with successful shows, someone decides to change things...first they let go of certain characters, then they change format (less of the two playing together) in Season 2. Then they add characters in Season 3. They add color in Season 3 (not a bad idea). But something was lost.....that wonderful relationship that made Laramie special. Jess begins to mature and calm down....but still shows the grittiness now and then. Some of the fun of the earlier episodes was their interaction...whether joking, or disagreeing, or caring for each other, or showing genuine concern....or punching each other around. When they shared the screen, there was a sense of enjoyment. Yes, they did well when not sharing screen or story...but we needed them to interact with each other....we missed how they played out the relationship between them. Laramie is one of the best western series ever made....due to the two actors who made it work for the most part. It is worth watching....I have one criticism, however! The first two seasons were in B&W....the quality was not the best. The color seasons were better....but restoration could have been, and should have been, much better!

Not sure what the bad reviews are about. These DVDs are exactly the quality you can expect from a series as old as these are! Absolutely great and worth the price!
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013
This is a slow developing show that by the 3rd disk you really start to like. The two main characters (Robert Fuller and John Smith) basically run a stage relay station and deal with all sorts of unsavory characters. Hoagy Carmichael (I heard the name, but never knew who he was) is the old cook and general maintainance man with Robert Crawford (brother of the young son on "The Rifleman") as the kid brother of John Smith. These two characters seem to vanish in the second season with no reason and are not replaced. In the third season a grandmotherly actress and another kid move into the relay station and I still cannot figure out why, who or where they came from. The show had great casting all around with plenty of faces you will recognize if you grew up in the 1950's or 1960's and great scenery too. A gritty hard shoot em up type western. Someone gets shot in every single episode including the stars, who are always wounded. I guess the West was really dangerous.

Bad problem with this show is the restoration. It does not appear to have been digitally restored in the slightest which is a letdown because it leaves the screenshots kind of dark with bad sound too on the first two season disks. The third season is extremely washed out, very much like the old Cisco Kid TV show. The actors seem to shake like the old movie projectors we had in elementary school too on the third disk. Another problem with the third season is the disks make a lot of noise in the DVD player.

Can't figure out who would cancel this series in it's fourth year? Great show (even though I never saw it or heard of it till I ordered this set). I think had the product been restored I would be happier with the purchase, but overall I got to see a show I never saw before. I gave it 5 stars for the show....the quality of film is poor and if I rated that it would be maybe one star.

I wish that I could tell you how happy I am with my purchase but to be frank I feel that I really got screwed!

Let me first point out that this is not about Amazon. What they do, they do very well and I have zero problem with them. The problem is with Timeless Media Group- the amateur company (and let's not forget NBC/ Universal -REALLY? What MBA was asleep releasing these prints that day?) that states on every disc that:

"This program has been reproduced from carefully selected archival films. State-of the-art-technology has been used to present the highest quality production. However, some imperfections in image and sound quality are unavoidable."

While in this case I would like to call it something else, I'll take the high road and say that this simply is not true! I didn't pay this much money to watch poorly done DVDs (even the cases were crap!). They, for all practical purposes, are unwatchable! Even the color seasons are bad. I wouldn't be so pissed if they were $10 each, but that's not what I paid. I can watch it on Encore and record it on my (frankly second-rate) COX DVR and see, but not keep, beautifully remastered copies of this very well-done show that is over 50 years old. Too bad they didn't just DVR it themselves and not create so many disappointed customers.

Where did Encore get their prints?

Timeless Media needs to make this right with all of us; either our money back or at least reasonable quality replacements!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2011
Methinks some people are perhaps never satisfied. I have waited literally years for this, and Timeless Video have not let me down. Yes, I know the prints aren't quite mint, but boy, have I seen worse?? Yes, I have. The prints here are perfectly watchable and the price thru Amazon is excellent (I would have paid more). The whole season 1 is here in, I reckon, the best available quality. Just lets be grateful and enjoy one of the best western series ever. (perhaps in fairness I should say I have only had time to check 3 random eps, but they were all OK). Now, where is series 2?? Mind you, 31 eps will take some time, so no hurry Timeless V...
