Great news. Now release Gunsmoke.

Good to see that physical media releases of older television series are continuing in Germany, and that CBS/Paramount are still licensing out to boutique labels (the Blu-ray releases of Bonanza's first two seasons being made widely available compared to Plaion's Blu-ray release of The Streets of San Francisco is welcome).

Thank you for the thread. I am definitely getting these! The Virginian is done, and now off to Bonanza. The price though, wow, I don't remember The Virginian being this expensive.
Also hope they come with slipcases (the amazon listing doesn't show them).

rebbirds · 04-16-2025, 11:05 AM

English subtitles included?

When looking at the front cover artwork for the Bonanza: Season 1 and 2 boxsets, seeing that they are going to be five discs each I have wondered how many episodes are going to be on each disc (bearing in mind there were thirty-two episodes in the first season and thirty-four in the second season).

On a separate note, I'm also wondering how likely it is that a German boutique label could do a Blu-ray boxset of the original Hawaii Five-O.

Well if you look at the covers i uploaded[they were before the picture changed on amazon it looks like a slip box similar to the virginian].

Says only Dolby Digital audio. Saves me a lot of money.

I want the “lost episodes” of Bonanza (I enjoy these more then any of the others! )!

Quote:

Because these popular episodes were not included in various syndication package deals during the show’s original run, they became known as “The Lost Episodes.” Rarely aired, this unique perspective on the Cartwright clan was often in demand, and now you can see them only on INSP!

Bonanza, The Lost Episodes
Bonanza centers on the Cartwright family, patriarch, Ben and his sons, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe. Life on the Ponderosa Ranch is never dull, as you might expect on the Nevada frontier. There are swindlers, robbers, vindictive posses, injustice, prejudice and corruption, not to mention, what might often be considered the biggest danger to a cowboy – love! One of the first Westerns to focus on family and family values, Bonanza has it all: the power to move you to tears, keep you on the edge of your seat, and to make you laugh out loud.

So saddle up and ride over to the Ponderosa for more Old West action with the Cartwright men!

I noticed the back cover says English and German DTS-HD MA 5.1. Yet the database here and other says Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono. I wonder which is correct?

OceanBlue · 07-23-2025, 07:58 PM

Don't know if there will be a website review for the Bonanza season 1 and 2 German Blu-ray boxsets, but hopefully some comments/observations are posted in this thread soon.

LT.Schaffer · 07-23-2025, 11:00 PM

Just got my shipping notice on Season 2 and season 1 should follow shortly

LT.Schaffer · 07-28-2025, 08:02 PM

Just got this in the mail

it's a standard 5 disc case
and like the virginian you can reverse the cover art to eliminate the rating logo

LT.Schaffer · 07-28-2025, 08:25 PM

image from Google to compare

A Couple from Blu-ray from the first episode i took in VLC.

so far these look stunning

Jompa · 07-29-2025, 01:41 PM

Good. Can you confirm it has English: DTS-HD MA 5.1? Like the back cover states.

iaf6 · 07-29-2025, 01:43 PM

What's the region coding for these discs?
