Lonesome Dove - The Series (1994)

21 Episodes. Featuring characters from the original miniseries, Lonesome Dove: The Series revolves around the life and times of Newt Call, the young cowhand who started out as a boy in Lonesome Dove, and now goes on to make his way in the world. The post-Civil War years in the American West are among the most exciting this country has ever known. Peopled with now-mythic figures like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, Billy the Kid and Sitting Bull, these were the golden years of the American West before the twentieth century roared in to tame the frontier once and for all. For Newt Call, the fresh-faced cowboy who was brought up with ironclad discipline by the legendary ex-Texas Ranger Captain Woodrow F. Call, this was a world which held great promise. Tangling with outlaws and bandits, revolutionaries, showmen and spirited Western women, Newt participates in all the major events of the Western era. Encountering its legendary figures and witnessing their passage into mythology, young Newt forges his destiny and begins to create a legend of his own. Product Description

Lonesome Dove - The Series

Fabulous series. Anyone who is a fan of Lonesome Dove should own this series. Great story lines, and very entertaining. March 31, 2008

Lonesome Dove Series

Excellent entertainment. I am not sorry I purchased this series. I also purchased the "Outlaw Years" and now wonder if there is a sequel to that one too. It kind of left you hanging and wondering what happens next. This series is not quite as good as the original "Lonesome Dove" but well worth watching. I now have the other DVDs such as "Deadmans Walk", "Streets of Loredo", "Return to Lonseome Dove", and "Commanche Moon" (yet to watch this one). I have never been a series watcher, but this one I am addicted too. Excellent value, and entertainment! I want more!! March 31, 2008

Disappointing - don't expect much

This series is poorly scripted, poorly acted, and even the historical perspectives of the Lonesome Dove series are lacking.

What you will get is a western version of the 1990s, with modern characters transported to an "old west" set.

Save your money. March 24, 2008

It doesnt get any better than this to see a true western. Robert Duvall is fantastic and Tommy Lee Jones is terrific. January 12, 2008
