"MILL CREEK's WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE (Season !, Vol. 1) consists of two discs stored in black paper sleeves with round glassine windows on one side for easy viewing. Both DVDs are single-side recorded. They're housed in a sturdy plastic case. No episode titles or details given and no booklet insert included.
Transfers are fine quality and not over-compressed. Opening and closing credits, plus original theme music are intact. Shows run consecutively, beginning with the CBS-TV premiere half-hour.
If this collection pleases you, there's more good news. MILL CREEK has made available WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE: THE COMPLETE SERIES. That's 40 hours of classic TV westerns for one incredibly low price!
