Look for the 55 episodes from the remaining 2nd and 3rd seasons to be released in the near future, only by Critics Choice Video and DVD.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Sergeant Preston of the Yukon Season One
Like The Lone Ranger, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon has been of special interest to me. This is one of the few earlier TV series to be filmed all in color and was done or produced first class. Their production values were several steps higher than most other production companies. The writers and producers put together a series that taught the younger generation about morals, respect and ritht from wrong. The company that brought back this series on DVD did a magnificent job in restoring these to a DVD format as the audio and video view like this is newly produced series.
Rating:  - Great Series
It brings me back to a time when there were a lot of fun and wholesome series on Saturday morning TV that appealed to youngsters.

Rating: - Sgt Preston
1950s TV series about a Mountie and his beloved dog, set in the late 1890s Yukon Gold Rush. Think wild woolly western travelling lawman with plenty of snow (the cold and wet kind) and no female companionship whatsoever. Richard Simmons stars as the requisite handsome mustachioed Mountie, derivative of the 1930-1950 Challenge of the Yukon Radio series. Small parts were actually filmed outdoors. There are dogsleds, steamships, telegraphs, Eskimoes, Indians, plus French and English speaking Canadians. Not quite the usual Classic Western, but produced by the same people who did The Lone Ranger. Fun series.
Rating: - Nostalgia!
It was very entertaining and the quality was good. It brought back memories from when I was a kid. It was one of the best christmas presents!
