How the West Was Won - 1st Season DVDs with James Arness, Eva Marie Saint, and Bruce Boxleitner

How the West Was Won: The Complete First Season is a family saga focusing on the lives of the Macahan family in the Old West. The leader of the family, Zeb Macahan (James Arness) is accustomed to the harsh realities of life on the frontier. His sister-in-law, Kate (Eva Marie Saint), alone since the death of her husband is struggling to maintain a home for her daughters and sons. Luke (Bruce Boxleitner), Kate's eldest son, is pursued by the law for desertion from the Union Army. Their stories are played out against a realistic recreation of the American West in that lusty, hard-hitting period when laws were frequently broken and progress was charted by individual suffering and survival.

Warner Home Video has announced that How the West Was Won - The Complete 1st Season will come to DVD on July 9th. Priced at $19.98 SRP, this 2-disc set's "first season" will actually consist of the 3-part miniseries and the TV movie, "The Macahans." Here's a peek at the packaging for this title:

After 35 years, the wait may be finally over this July 2013 for this MUST HAVE classic TV Mini series. I hope the quality is there compared to the bootleg "Crap" I've bought just to see it a little of it. After watching one episode on a HD TV, I couldn't stand the cut-up, out of focus, TV to VHS to DVD dubs that are being sold out there! Now that it's been so long and James Arness has passed, we can forget about any commentary audio tracks or introductions, thanks to the right's owners.

I just ordered my copy. I'm very excited. I remember watching this when I was a kid. Any idea if season 2 will be released on DVD?

I just bought season 1 and loved it. I was wondering the same thing.
