Dead Man's Gun Complete Season 2

Not a bad series, but has a drawback. The things I liked about the series is that it's a Western. (Same town prop, but you have to overlook that.) The series brings moral lessons to the forefront on how one should live their life. It has a pretty nice set, good costume work, a good feel to the entire series. If you enjoy Westerns you'll probably enjoy the series, it has a lot to offer the fan of the genre. Each of the shows has unique characters and actors in them, a bit amazing that there are so many unknown actors available for each of the episodes - you'll see some famous faces too as well.The thing I didn't appreciate about the series is basically the same moral lesson is taught over and over again. This makes the series like a set of short stories - that are only linked through the fact that the same gun appears in each story. The lesson being learned is basically the same, self righteousness, arrogance, greed; these will bring one's downfall.The challenge for the writers was to create various scenarios, and characters, who are coming at the lesson from a different angle - one that could have hypothetically existed in the West. I'm glad I purchased, watched (then passed along) the series (consisted of Seasons 1 and 2), but I could see why it would be hard to make this a long running series. The story line tough to carry - the last episode basically a wash, filler only to provide closure.

Last year, during a free week-end of Encore Western, we watched a few episodes of Dead Man's Gun. We had never seen it before and found it quite entertaining. If you are a western movie lover, you may enjoy this series. Most all of the episodes are well written, directed and photographed. The only thing we thought gratuitous was the nudity in almost every episode of the first season. The second season dropped that issue and also began filming better stories. Two episodes star Henry Winkler in the second season and show, without a doubt, that he is much more than the "Fonz" from Happy Days as far as acting is concerned. He shows, in these episodes, that he has a lot more depth of portrayal than one would think and yet never has to sink into the evil, bad guy mode in order to make us believe his character is real. There are other famous guest stars as we'll. The great Rocky Horror Picture Show star, Meatloaf also shows up in an episode and surprises us delightfully with his portrayal of a rather complicated man. There are many others and for the modern western lover, this series will be fun. It is shot more like a movie than a TV show and is worth your time and worth the price.

I loved the Series when it was first on HBO back in the day! It's kinda like a Western show but with a twisted element of the Twilight Zone mixed in. Also love the facts that it was created & many episodes were directed by Henry Winkler, the Fonz himself, and narrated by Kris Kristofferson who has one of THE sexiest voices out there! I have it 4 Stars because I'm disappointed that it doesn't have Closed Captions which I've gotten hooked on using while helping mom recuperate from 2 different surgeries. You'd be amazed at how much you miss with background noises during shows/movies! So now I'm hooked on CC and really miss it when it's not an option that I can use even with my surround sound system. Oh well....

I purchased Deadman's Gun DVDs via the Internet (from what I later found out was an on-line scam artist from China). The quality was terrible and 85% pixelized. Luckily, I was able to get a credit to my credit card account. I recorded the entire 44 shows from the Starz/Encore Western Channel presentations and transferred them to DVD (quite a task). Now . . on to this (legal) edition. When I saw these disks became available, I ordered them immediately, and am very pleased with it. I shall keep my semi-legal copies, but will enjoy this, as well as the First Season's disks. The show is excellent (somewhat slow at times, but overall excellent acting and production). 5 Stars!

Dead Mans Gun was airing around the time Lexx I believe. Lexx was crazy and insane stuff but fun, this show is likewise. I searching the internet for reasons why it was cancelled or interviews with it's producer, none of which I could find. Unfortunately for us there is always going to be a mystery of how good it's ratings were, why was it cancelled, and who decided that season 3 would never happen. I am not angry but disappointing because if they'd done 2 more seasons this would've just been outstanding IMO.If anyone ever finds out the answers to these questions, etc. post here. Thanks!

Love the show. Easy breezy and Henry Winkler iced the cake.I'd never heard of it, not usual for me to watch t.v. shows til they come out on DVD. Tho this one certainly isn't new.This is one of those series l could watch with someone familiar with a lot of celebrities, mostly those that play small roles but frequently.Happy it's in my collection!

It's true that it's not the best western I've ever seen, but I found many of the episodes intriguing. I am impressed with how hard they tried to keep each episode interesting. Believe me, not every western puts forth that kind of effort.

Good original show. Some great and interesting plots. Showed a bit more skin than was necessary,but some good western drama. Looking forward to watching the rest of the DVDs.

My husband ordered this and was so pleased. He won't order his video's from anywhere else. So, far we have not had any problems with any of the products we have ordered. Keep up the good work Amazon!

An enjoyable show. Always about the gun and where it ends up and what kind of trouble it passes on. Entertaining.

Good bunch of westerns. Henry Winkler is a better director than i expected.

My husdand likes westerns so I got him this dvd set for his birthday. We are enjoying it on rain days. Wish they would make more westerns.

One of the best western series
