Description The show followed the adventures of Paladin (Richard Boone), a gentleman/gunfighter, who preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled. Paladin lived in the Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, where he dressed in formal attire, ate gourmet food, and attended the opera. In fact, many who met him initially mistook him for a dandy from the East. When working, he dressed in black, used calling cards, wore a holster that carried characteristic chess knight emblems, and carried a derringer under his belt.

I agree, corporate greed at its finest ! March 10, 2010 Richard Ferko (Eastlake, Ohio USA) I bought the first 3 seasons, but I too will wait till later for a complete season 4 ! Similar thing is happening with Lord of the Rings on Blu-Ray. It is being put out soon on the regular release, but will be put out much later for the extended release.
Passing on this one. March 10, 2010 Prometheus (USA) Love this series. Richard Boone is one of my favorites and he was excellent as Paladin. I own the first three complete seasons. I have waited years for season 4. Now it is here and what do I find but a total betrayal of the fans that bought the first four season with an overpriced release of a half season and no expectations of the rest of the season to be released anytime soon. Passing on this one until it is done right.
$30 For Half a Season!? March 9, 2010 asfhgwt (PA, USA) I agree with the other 1-star reviewers -- the show is 5-star, but its greedy owners make me want to vomit. I bought this on pre-order without noticing the "Volume 1" caption, and I'm pretty sure that it didn't appear in the description at that time. Still, I'll keep the DVD and buy Volume 2, but that's all.
Technical Improvements Over the Previous Seasons March 9, 2010 tulipohare (California) We have a 40-inch television screen and as soon as I viewed the first disc of the fourth season it was immediately clear that CBS finally took the time to clean up the video. Also, the audio sounds clearer and no longer varies in volume so much from show-to-show as it does in the previous seasons. However, no extras and no captioning for the hearing impaired. And this is a minor gripe, the discs no longer have pictures on them, only gray labels with print (I thought the pictures were a nice touch in seasons one through three). It's good to know that the rest of season four, as well as season five and six will look and sound this good. But, this means CBS needs to go back and clean up seasons 1-3 and re-release them (which they will no doubt do in separate expensive double volumes). I give the show five stars. Many of the episodes feature wonderful writing, terrific guest stars and I can't praise Richard Boone's performance enough. This is not the definitive DVD set. CBS hasn't gotten it right yet and from what I'm reading they are losing business by so clumsily managing this release of a series that deserves so much better.
Great show, greedy, grubby, corporate sales March 3, 2010 Martin Eigenberger 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I agree this show represents tv at its best. But I also agree with reviewers calling corporations for what they are: financial terrorists, who will denigrate absolutely anything for quick profits. I will wait for the fair price on the complete Season 4, or go to the Asian markets.
