Summary: A piece of American history
Comment: The product quality is excellent, as it uses to be with all the products from the Walt Disney factory. Here you are all the episodes of the series, presented as they were originally broadcast, complete with introductions by Walt Disney himself. Introductions to every episode are made by film historian Leonard Maltin. Included are interviews with series stars Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen as well as a gallery of original artwork, advertisements and threatical posters. The soundtrack includes subtitles for the hearing disabled, but I missed the Spanish synchronization or, at least, Spanish subtitles.

Summary: You're Missing Something Big If You Don't Have This Set
Comment: As a fan of Davy Crockett, I along with others was familiar with the theatrical release and assumed that this one would be about the same. Not only was I wrong but I was pleasantly surprised how much more is on the uncut version than on the theatrical release. Although it's expensive and hard to get, I recommend that if you're interested in Crockett to pick up this set. It's well worth it and you're missing something big if you don't have this particular set.

Summary: Confused
Comment: Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the original movie start out earlier than with the Indian episode? I thought it actually showed him "grinnin'" down a "bar" before leaving his beloved Polly and family.
Can someone straighten me out? And for some reason, I want to hear "Green Grow the Lilacs" some where in the show.

Summary: Great show, Bad DVD
Comment: I loved the Davy Crockett Televised Series as a kid but these left a bit to be desired. The picture sometimes goes to a sepia tone and other times it loses its color contrast. It also get super fast in some places. It looks like it was hodgepodge together from different lesser quality sources. Also on parts do not play well. The story is great and so is the packaging but the quality of the DVD leaves something to be desired. However if a full original copy has been lost to time this is better then nothing.
