Jim Bowie Complete Collection

BOY, have I EVER enjoyed these discs and have shared with other family members, always reminding them I WANT THEM BACK. These shows are WONDERFUL and you will find the kind of programs that ALL THE FAMILY can enjoy without worrying about content and language! There are PLOTS to these shows even in the short time and CREATIVE WRITING and funny lines and actual humor and I am SO grateful. I'll take this any day over the programming that is on now. I recommend to anyone that has NEVER heard of this show to give it a shot; I see the actors we grew to love in their early days in these shows and the good message and great feeling I have when I finish a show is so terrific! What we have lost.....

This first review is due to deffective cases in three of the five in the set. The hubs were deffective so the discs were loose and would not reseat... resulting in scratches on two of the six discs that were very noticeable and minor scratches on the rest. Fortunately I have replacements and will check out all potential problems and update my review after viewing complete series.Two stars only for the case issues.

Although I do not recall this series on Australian television I am pleased to addit to my extensive collection of the period.The episode titled "The birth of the blade" was an entertaining introduction, howeverthe fight Bowie has with the "mother Bear" comes across as a large cub.I already possessed 6 episodes from the "Ultimate TV Westerns" set from Millcreek released the same year of 2007, this set has a better quality .... and more complete....this is a 10 DVD set 76 episodes 1956-1958from : Infinity Enterprises Falcoln Picture Group SFN EntertainmentA cardboard box with 10 cardboard sleeves each holding 1 DVD.This type of packaging I have often come across and find inconvienient, as with therelease of Wagon Train I have gone to the trouble of re-packaging these.

I had only saw a few episodes of this rarely shown series over the years. While I expected it to be on the kiddie western level which in many ways it is. I was also pleasantly surprised it can be entertaining as well. Scott Forbes is well cast and at times charming as Jim Bowie. If you are nostalgic for shows of the 50's and 60's and don't mind black and white films this is a fun way to spend 25 minutes. I don't know how historically accurate the series is probably many liberties were taken for entertainment sake. I enjoyed the show for what it is, simple entertainment from a much simpler time.

The adventures of Jim Bowie is a fun show from the 50's. picture and sound are great. package and DVD cases are top of the line. buy before it's gone.

I am on disc 3 season 5&6. So far they have been great. At the begining of each episode there is a brief history of Louisiana according to what the episode is about. The pictures are clear. Each episode has romance, adventure, fun, and a moral behind it. My only complaint is that, unlike the 2 disc collection, these episodes do not play one after the other. Also, one episode appears twice, but it is a good one. Each disc has about 5 - 6 episodes and lasts about 3 hours. Great family viewing. Good buy. You will be enjoying it for years.

This is a collection from my past. There wasn't a week went by that I didn't watch Jim Bowie I like history and this was a small part of what it took to build this Nation. Should you choose to watch this collection don't be surprised if you get caught up in the moment. This is very entertaining try to count how many times Jim Bowie get knocked out its kind of a wonder he didn't suffer brain damage. Ha Ha. Should you choose to watch it you will find that it is a lost art. There aren't any computers to enhance the action sequences. just whole lot of Stunt men Enjoy.

I wasn't sure if I should purchase the whole series of Jim Bowie. I had some episodes on VHS which I always liked, so I decided to splurge. I'm so glad I did. All the great memories of that time came back watching these. Sure the history isn't accurate, some cheap sets are used & some so-so acting is involved. But, Scott Forbes is such a likeable actor & I love the era & even the Ken Darby Singers "Ooooing" away in the background. This was a huge show among my childhood peers & I just can't help liking it. Some shows I don't care about cost or quality, I'm just grateful to have them in any condition. The quality of these DVD's are excellent. If you want good old American 1950's TV history, check out Jim Bowie. I sure wish they would release "Yancy Derringer", "The Rebel" & "The Grey Ghost" on DVD.
