Virginian: The Complete Season Three

NBC's long-running series THE VIRGINIAN (1962-71) is noteworthy for many reasons, not the least of which is its status as the first 90-minute western in U.S. television history. It also retains historical interest for bringing into the limelight supporting actors (such as future SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and FALL GUY Lee Majors) who later graduated to superstardom in other series and movies. The program, as many will recall, starred James Drury as the title character, a nameless fellow in the 1890s who turned up to repeatedly enforce his own brand of justice on a Wyoming Territory. Supporting cast members included a pre-EXORCIST Lee J. Cobb as Judge Henry Garth, plus Doug McClure as Trampas. This package offers all thirty original episodes from Season Three, which ran from September 1964 through April 1965.
