Not the best transfer but still good
22 Dec 2007
Format:DVD
I should have rated this down a couple stars for quality.
I don't recall the previous two seasons having this problem, but this season has many problems where the audio track is off by about 1/4-1/2 second. That is, you see the lips move, and then hear the sound a 1/4-1/2 second later, or vice versa. I doubt this is just my copy, I am pretty sure it would be like this on all of them. If someone can tell me their's does NOT have this problem, I will adjust my review accordingly.
Aside from that, this has some great stories and is fun to watch. This is very good family entertainment, good for kids and adults alike. My wife's family and my own family used to watch this when we were kids, and it's just as good now as it was then.
Fess Parker WAS Daniel Boone.
As to the "historical" apsect of some of the stories, it's only approximately historical. Don't expect to pass any history tests based on what you learn here! First of all, Daniel Boone never wore a coon-skin hat. This idea was stolen from Parker's earlier portrayal of the famous frontiersman, Davy Crockett. They decided he looked good in it, I guess, and so had him wear it. Thus, the 2 characters are entertwined in our memory, although they had nothing to do with each other in real life!
Daniel Boone did however have quite an interesting and complex life - much more than is shown in the series - and I encourage you to read the bio at wikipedia and then perhaps one of the better recent bios available in book form here at amazon.
So what can I say? This series is so good, I am not rating it downward for having some episodes with bad audio tracks!
So far Season 2 and Season 3 have the best stories. I have not seen Season 4 and subsequent seasons in about 40 years, so I can't form an opinion on those yet.

Daniel Boone DVD Season 3
28 Nov 2007
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Daniel Boone has for many years been one of my favorite TV shows. The only way it might have been better would have been to let Fess Parker continue as Davy Crockett in the TV series, but then we wouldn't have had the beautiful Patricia Blair appearing as his wife. I have all the seasons released so far and the quality is outstanding.If you like Fess Parker as Davy Crockett,you'll also like him as Daniel Boone.

Keeping it clean
26 July 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoy this series of short stories about Daniel Boone and the problems that comes his way. He never seems to get too excited about any situation and finds a way to take care of the situation. He always does it with out foul language and trying to hurt someone that doesn't need to be hurt, but he does what he has to do. I think this is good family entertainment and kids can watch these and get things from them that they can put into their own character instead of a lot of violence.
