The Deputy: 1959-1961

Great collection

THE DEPUTY is an excellent TV Western, at least 4 Stars for the show itself. About 3 for the DVD set because I understand there's only 12 episodes on it. Any 12 are worth having, tho, so I'm going to buy it and hope for more later. I've heard Henry Fonda was miserable doing it but his work, as a supporting actor, doesn't suffer. Allen Case as the deputy Clay McCord was perfect casting. The rest of the regulars are solid too and the guest stars include a number of big names to be. Well worthwhile. An update. I just finished watching the twelve THE DEPUTY episodes. I enjoyed them but most are not the best shows. I especially had hoped to get a copy of the one where the deputy broke the unbreakable moral code and purposely killed a man by purposely shooting him in the back, but it wasn't one of them. Also, the inclusion of the two episodes with VERY poor picture quality is inexplicable. Several years ago one of the cable stations played THE DEPUTY and plenty of good quality episodes exists.

I have submitted this rating and I love The Deputy and watch every week, as you can find these shows on TV and then the next 2-3 months its off and something else in its time slot. With the DVD I can watch when ever I get ready

100 stars

Excellent, could not be faulted

This was a short lived series but was well done. Henry Fonda was the draw for this series but I beleive that Allan Case carried the series because he was the constant character. Henry Fonda's character would come and go but the Deputy was always present in the story lines.

Great westerns from the good old days....

Some of the episodes are ok but 2 of them are virtually unviewable. I have always been pleased with the quality of material put out by TIMELESS but this is far below there standards. They claim these are the best prints they could find of the episodes but I cannot believe this as there collectors out there with 16mm copies of lots of things. I accept that due to the age of the material imperfections are expected but this collection is one of the worst I have come across. Get back to the good work you do TIMELESS and lets have no more like this!
