Lonesome Dove [Blu-ray]

The conversion to HD isn't perfect - some of the dark scenes are grainy but overall I'm very happy with it - and would highly recommend it to all Lonesome Dove fans.

Long overdue, "Lonesome Dove" finally gets some respect. Watching the prior version on DVD was akin to looking at a masterpiece of art with the sides ripped off, and the remainder of the canvas smeared with vaseline. It was a most disappointing experiance. No More. This version is razor sharp, and provides a "first time" experiance. The sunset over the Rio Grande as the Hat Creek boys head to Mexico for some cattle, the Llano, where Gus determines the accurate range of his Winchester; these and other scenes now accurately rendered reinforce the sound argument this is one of the top five westerns ever filmed, and unarguably the best TV miniseries ever produced. Simply put, this long overdue remaster brings out the best in the best. A must for any collection.

Probably the most entertaining Westerns for TV of all time.
Seeing it on Widescreen and surround sound made it evern more
exciting!

I love the video, but the first DVD you sent did not work. It took talking to two different CS reps to get it straight, but eventually Amazon wound up doing the right thing. Thank you Amazon!

Great new sound and picture quality but left out the scene where they examine the boy after he was bitten by snakes in the water. The scene goes from the snake striking his face to the burial. Pretty sloppy transfer. Also it is not 16:9
