Produced by Starz Western Channel, it traces the life and career of William Boyd as well as the development of the Hopalong Cassidy character in both print and film. Dennis Weaver narrates with extensive comments from Hoppy's widow, Grace Bradley Boyd and film critic Leonard Maltin. This documentary is featured on Disc #4 and I highly recommend that it be viewed before watching the films and TV episodes.The technical quality of all the films and television episodes is EXCELLENT: sharp picture, clear audio.Each of the 12 discs are individually packaged in a keepsake case, each one featuring a different photo of Hoppy on the front.Altogether you get over 35 hours of enjoyable, exciting family entertainment which I found well worth the purchase price which came to about $2 per hour.I highly recommend this item to all fans of Hopalong Cassidy, westerns and classic film and television.

These movies and TV shows have been reproduced in excellent quality, especially since I originally saw them on a 12" round screen TV over 60 years ago. It's fun to relive the days when boys had role models who didn't drink, smoke, cuss, or disrespect women and they could wear toy guns to school without a need to destroy something. It's also interesting to see how much the Hollywood agenda has changed in that time. A great companion piece is the book by Mrs. Cassidy (Grace Boyd) and Michael Cochran, Hopalong Cassidy, An American Legend.

Some hour long movies were included in the dvds that were in the movie collection, I don't know if this was in the original series or not as it was supposed to be the complete collection. I hope they weren't put is as fillers. Also at least one dvd was not numbered correctly. The names of the stories didn't correspond to the one's listed on the collection jacket.

This has all 52 tv shows that all there was.Plus there are some of the movies here to. It so nice about 20 some minutes goes fast. Look hard for a good low price I did Amazon for me used save a lot and its like new. You get this collection you got all most all of Hopalong Cassidy Collection. Don't let this slip through your fingers . StanOldTimer

I grew up with Hoppy. First saw him on our first tv in 1949. He was the second tv program on day tv at the time. Hoppy was cool then and in my mind is still a pretty cool guy.

I remember them as a kid and am looking forward to sharing them with my grandchildren. The writing is good and every episode is quite entertaining. I love the encouragement Hoppy gives the children at the end of each show. It sure shows how we've lost values in the generations since.

A gift for my wife who is a huge Hoppy fan!!!

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He was THRILLED. It brought back many fond memories for him of when he was a little boy and used to watch Hopalong Cassidy movies at the local movie theater and the weekly shows on television.

What can I say. The definitive Hoppy. I watched every single CD and want to watch them again.I lent them to a friend of mine with young kids and they loved Hoppy like I did when I was a kid.Name me a role model today like this guy was in his day. You can't and that's why nobody gives a damn about anyone else today. His public messages like go to school, listen to your teacher, wear proper clothes and attend Sunday school are what's missing today. We need hope, faith and the ability to offer charity to our fellow creatures like Hoppy portrayed on screen and Boyd did in his life.I'd give it ten stars if I could.
