I just learned that the first season of my favorite TV series of all time will be released on DVD next month. It's a Western, too.
What is it? Here's a hint:

In two of the episodes, Doc Holliday(played by Gerald Mohr)makes an appearance. In the second of these, "Seed of Deception", Bart & Bret are mistaken to be Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday. Other favorites are "According to Hoyle", in which female card-sharp Samantha Crawford(played by Diane Brewster)first enters the series and "Rope of Cards", in which you will learn how to play "Maverick solataire".
The 7 disc set will be released by Warner Brothers on May 29. I loved the show when I first started watching it in 1957 and continue to love it today.
Happy viewing,
Jerry
