When I found out Warner Bros. had released my favorite shows of yesteryear in a DVD series called "Warner Bros. TV Favorites," I was absolutely thrilled! When I was a kid, I remember watching reruns of some of the older shows such as 'F Troop' and 'Maverick.' I also remember watching the 'Dukes of Hazzard' every Friday night with my family. 'Chico and the Man' was another great show I watched in the 70's along with the 'Tony Orlando & Dawn' variety show when I was a kid. Read my reviews below and take a walk down memory lane!

Chico and the Man - This was a fantastic comedy sitcom that ran from 1974-1978. The star of the show, Freddie Prinze Sr., was hilarious and very charismatic. The show was very popular during its run. Unfortunately, Freddie Prinze committed suicide in 1977 at the age of 22. This DVD captures a magic time in television with Freddie's comedy talent and the on-screen comedy chemistry he shared with veteran actor Jack Albertson. Don't miss the guest appearance by Scatman Crothers! The DVD includes the series pilot episode and several additional hilarious episodes. Also included is the last episode ("Ed Talks to God") Freddie Prinze starred in before his death.

Dukes of Hazzard - Who can forget Bo (John Schneider), Luke (Tom Wopat), and Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach), Uncle Jesse, Cooter, Boss Hogg, Enos and Rosco P. Coltrane? Not to mention, the fast and fabulous General Lee! This was a hilarious, action-packed series I watched week after week. This DVD from the WB TV Favorites DVD series showcases several great episodes including "Double Sting" and my absolute favorite "The Ghost of General Lee." The wide popularity of the series spawned off a movie remake this year - another blockbuster 'Dukes of Hazzard' hit!

F Troop - Whether you're an old fan of this hilarious 60's comedy series or you've never heard of it - you must have this DVD! The stars of the show are Ken Berry (Mama's Family), Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch. There are too many wonderful supporting actors to name. I will say that this DVD is also worth getting because of the fantastic guest stars featured in this DVD - Harvey Korman (Carol Burnett Show), Paul Lynde and Don Rickles. My favorite episodes are "The Singing Mountie" with Paul Lynde and "Bye, Bye Balloon" with Harvey Korman. Don't miss this one!

Maverick - This great comedy/western series starring James Garner ran from 1957-1962. One quote on IMDB describes the show as "the western version of the Rockford Files." The 'Rockford Files' being another widely popular show James Garner starred in from 1974-1980, with a few assorted specials in the 90's (ending in 1999). 'Maverick' also starred Roger Moore (of James Bond fame), Diane Brewster and Jack Kelly. Whether you like Westerns or not, you'll love this show. It won an Emmy for 'Best Western Series' during its run. This fantastic DVD includes "Pappy (1959)" - guest starring Troy Donahue and Adam West; "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" and "Gun-Shy" (the famous spoof of Gunsmoke).

Cheyenne - 'Cheyenne' is another popular western series that ran from 1955-1963. The series starred Clint Walker as "Cheyenne Bodie." Another interesting bit of information about Clint is his voice work on the Dreamworks SKG blockbuster movie/animation feature "Small Soldiers (1998)." It's evident why the series won a Golden Globe in 1957 alongside "The Mickey Mouse Club" and "This is Your Life." I don't know what it is, but there's something magic about the drama and original storylines of the 50's and 60's television shows - they were less commercialized and more about entertainment. The episodes included in this great DVD are "The Storm Riders (1956)," "The Trap (1956)," and "The Young Fugitives (1961)."
