Description: Rawhide was American Western television series that aired for eight seasons on the CBS network on Friday nights from January 9, 1959 to September 3, 1965 before moving to Tuesday nights from September 14, 1965 until December 7, 1965, with a total of 217 black-and-white episodes. Up for sale is a DVD boxed set featuring the complete first season of the action-packed TV Series "RAWHIDE" -- starring Clint Eastwood as cowhand Rowdy Yates and Eric Fleming as trail boss Gil Favor. The 7-disc set contains all 22 episodes from the first season, plus a bonus episode for Season 2. Set in the 1860s, Rawhide portrays the challenges faced by the drovers of a cattle drive. Most episodes are introduced with a monologue by trail boss Gil Favor (Eric Fleming). In a typical Rawhide story, the drovers come upon people on the trail and involve themselves in other people's affairs, usually encountering various corrupt individuals. Many times, one or more of the crew ventures into a nearby town and encounters some trouble from crooked townspeople or lawless politicians from whom they need to be rescued. Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) was young and at times impetuous in the earliest episodes, and Favor had to keep a tight rein on him. Favor is a savvy and strong leader, who always plays "square" with his fellow men – a tough customer who can handle the challenges and get the job done. Producer Charles Warren called on the diary written in 1866 by trail boss George C. Duffield to shape the character of Favor. Although Favor had the respect and loyalty of the men who worked for him, the people, including Yates, are insubordinate to him a few times, after working too hard or after receiving a tongue lashing. Favor has to fight at times and usually wins. Other memorable cast members included: Sheb Wooley as scout Pete Nolan; Paul Brinegar as the cantankerous cook, George Washington "Wishbone" Haggerty; James Murdock as Wishbone's assistant, Harkness "Mushy" Mushgrove III. The DVD set was purchased new by myself and each episode watched once. Following watching an episode, if I did not wish to watch the next episode at that time, the disc was immediately removed from the player and carefully stored until I was ready for the viewing of the next episode in the series. I liked to spread my enjoyment of this series out over time. The photos in this listing are of the actual DVD up for sale. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
