I loved this show. When it came out on CBS my grandmother and I watched it every week. It was our favorite. Unfortunately, when it went off the air, we had no other way of watching it. We couldn't afford cable or satellite. When I found out that Season One had come out on DVD, I bought it immediately and have watched each episode at least a dozen times. I truly wish that MGM would put Season 2 on the market as soon as possible. I have become a Magnificent Seven Junkie. I still do not have cable or satellite and many nights there aren't any decent shows on the 2 channels available to me and when this happens into the DVD player goes the Magnificent Seven and I will watch it until bedtime. Thank you for such a wonderful show.
... View MoreI am not a huge fan of many American TV series but this one was so good I am completely hooked.I have been a fan of westerns forever, my dad and I used to sit up at midnight watching them together and Magnificent seven was our favourite. Trust me this series is just as good as the originals though a little more tongue in cheek.I love the way the actors really seem to be enjoying what they are doing and they all fit into their characters so well.The script is written so well and the conversation when the seven are sitting together is hilarious, as is JD's romance with Casey.I can't wait to receive my DVD and I am so glad it's finally come out the tapes I made of it have run a little ragged.
... View MoreThis was an amazingly well crafted show, that was over too soon! In a market that was glutted with cookie-cutter dramas and sit-coms, Magnificent Seven was a welcome change. Sylistically, it didn't look like anything else on TV, and it certainly didn't have the same story lines as anything else on any other network. Unfortunately, westerns on TV were not destined to make a comeback that season. I'm a big fan of the original with Brynner and McQueen, and believe me -Biehn and Close were well able to fill those remarkable shoes! Eric Close even LOOKS like Steve McQueen! And believe me - the chemistry of the seven actors is something I've not seen on TV since - and likely will not see again. There was a friendship between all seven main actors, which made their characters easier to believe and twice as engaging to watch. This show had action, drama, comedy, brotherhood, and just a pinch of romance. It was clean enough, yet entertaining enough for younger kids to watch, and interesting enough to keep adults coming back each week. I think it's still viewable on the Hallmark channel, but not everyone has that channel available. What I wouldn't give for DVD's...
... View MoreThere havent been to many western tv series lately. Two of the best that were on in recent years was The Magnificant Seven and The Young Riders. Give me a good sci-fi or action movie or series anyday. Although The Magnificant Seven and The Young Riders were westerns they had alot of action in them and the casts were great. Casting Micheal Biehn as the Seven's leader was a great choice. He works well in a western setting; as he did in Tombstone. It is a shame there were only 23 episodes made. I hope they can make some tv movies about The Magnificant Seven with all of the same cast. I also hope they will air the reruns again of this great show.
