This was first shown in 1959 but the series was shown right through until 1966. This whole series is fantastic for anyone who liked Rawhide, or any of the television westerns.It is a nostalgic ride back in time and I loved it. I don't even think it is dated,I would highly recommend it.Makes me a bit sad to watch it, thinking about sitting as a family with my mum and dad, days long gone.It is black and white but anyone who grew up with black and white this is not a problem.It is a good quality recording and I would buy the second series also. I would give it 10 out of 10.

Some old TV series can be a disappointment when you view them many years later - they somehow don't look so good as your memory suggested! But "Rawhide" is an exception. Channel 4, to their credit, re-ran many of the episodes a few years back. "Rawhide" stands apart from so many 1960s Westerns, in which the heroes look so impeccably turned out, with never a speck of dust and dirt on then. Instead "Rawhide" portrays grubby, smelly, tatty drovers, who bleed when they get thumped or shot, and bicker amongst themselves; the series features historically-credible and authentic detail with consistently credible storylines. For instance, our heroes aren't referred to as "cowboys", but "drovers" - a minor point but hey, that's authenticity for you. The black-and-white photography seems to enhance the atmosphere and the acting's pretty top-notch from the ensemble cast too. This is classic quality TV. I wonder if the entire 220 or so episodes will be released..?

I first encountered RAWHIDE sometime during the 1980s, and like many I watched the repeats of the show that Channel 4 screened in the late 1990s. I was very impressed with the show and for a while watching it became a regular fixture of my weekends. Consequently, I'm enormously pleased that Paramount have begun to release the show onto a home video format.
At times, there's an odd, abstract quality about the series, as if the drovers are wandering through purgatory; some of the shows feature plot-points that verge on those you might expect to see in a horror film. For example, in one episode in the middle of nowhere a young drover stumbles across a man who has been hung upside down and disfigured with fire; and in another early episode, the herd is followed by a mysterious gunfighter (played by the great Dan Duryea). This abstract quality is reinforced by the fact that whatever problems the drovers stumble across, at the end of every episode they must continue to push the herd forwards: they are rootless, and unlike the heroes of many Western films and television shows the protagonists of this series are simply working men. They make mistakes; and if they are hit or shot, they are clearly wounded.
When I watched the show at a younger age, I saw Eastwood's Rowdy Yates as the star of the show, and it's hard not to let Eastwood's subsequent fame eclipse the other actors' roles in the series. However, revisiting the series, Eric Fleming steals the majority of the episodes: Gil Favor is the pivot around which most of the action revolves, and his background is shrouded in mystery.
I sincerely hope that Paramount decide to continue with the DVD releases of this well-loved series.

Rawhide SEASON 1
Perfect to be honest. The recordings are crisp and clear, sound quality great too.
They probably look better now than they did when first aired. A very pleased RAWHIDE fan.
