Description:
One of the most popular Western series of the 1970s, 'Alias Smith and Jones' aired on ABC for 3 years from 1971-1973. In the tradition of the hit movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 'Alias Smith and Jones' follows the exploits of former Devil's Hole Gang leaders Kid Curry and Hannibal Heyes (alias Joshua Smith and Thaddeus Jones), a pair of successful and popular outlaws trying to go straight after a lifetime of mostly non-violent banditry. Settling in a small western town, Curry/Jones and Heyes/Smith must stay out of trouble for an indefinite period of time to earn the pardon the Governor will grant if they can keep to the straight and narrow. In the meantime, they are fair game for the bounty hunters and the long arm of the law trying to put them away for good. Only the silver tongue of Heyes/Smith and the fast draw of Curry/Jones, (plus occasional help from their friends on both sides of the law!) keep them out of the hoosegow. Starring Ben Murphy and Pete Duel as the two charming rogues, the series features a strong cast of recurring characters, including Burl Ives (Big Mac McCreedy), and Walter Brennan (Silky O' Sullivan), as well as an outstanding roster of guest stars including Pernell Roberts, Susan Oliver, Alan Hale, Jr., Claudine Longet, Rory Calhoun, Jack Cassidy, Neville Brand, Chill Wills, Slim Pickens and John Russell, many of whom made multiple appearances on the show. Narrator Roger Davis took on the role of Hannibal Heyes, following the untimely and unfortunate death of Pete Duel during the second season. Includes the 90 minute pilot, Co-starring James Drury (The Virginian), John Russell (The Lawman) and Susan St. James (McMillian and Wife).

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the TV Show. No Problems with the DVDs.
I fell in love with this show from the first time I watched it on TV back in Spring of 2015.Couldn't decide which one of the main characters was the cutest; Ben Murphy as "Kid" Curry (alias Thaddeus Jones) or Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes (alias Joshua Smith ). I decided I'll take them both.I was particularly impressed with "Kid" Curry's fast draw; Let some slime ball come along picking a fight with him just for the he** of it, thinking the Kid is a punk and will grovel at the bully's knees for mercy; The Kid, taking on the bully, eying him down, while the tough guy's hand is on this gun at the hip of his holster, and the Kid's right hand handing carefree down by his side...and faster than a blink of the bully's eye, the Kid's quick to draw his gun; sometimes he shoots it, and at whatever part of his adversary's body he deemed necessary to make his point; and other times, all is necessary for him to make his point is to whip it out faster than his opponent could even start to reach for his gun. Wooo weee...now that's fast!A few of my favorite episodes are:-- The Posse That Wouldn't Quit; starring Vera Miles (A rancher who assisted the outlaw cousins, Alias Smith and Jones from a posse of 13 bounty hunters looking to capture the boys for a 20,000 reward)-- The McCreedy Bust; staring Burl Ives ( A wealthy art collector who owns half the town; hires the duo for unethical purposes that could jeopardize their chances for pardon of all past crimes by the governor who says the pair must stay out of trouble for one year to get a clean slate.-- What's in it for Mia: starring Ida Lupino (A con artist who's used all her ill-gotten money to control an entire town, and destroys George Austin's newspaper (newspaper owner: played by Buddy Ebsen). Austin, with the help of Smith and Jones, Mia finally gets what 's coming to her.The DVDs to the set is without any problems; picture bright and clear, audio is great. Glad I made the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and entertaining.
I watched this series on tv a long time ago and loved it then. I'm loving it now. Alias Smith and Jones are so funny and keep getting in tight spots but the way they get out of them is very entertaining.
5.0 out of 5 stars A much anticipated reunion.
I'm like everyone else. This is my favorite tv show of all time. The writing, performance, and direction are second to none. Pete and Ben were made for each other. The guest stars always brought their A game. I will always mourn Pete Duel, he WAS Hannable Heyes. Brilliant actor. Roger did his best, but in this case, Pete was irreplaceable.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable Series
We loved watching the entire series again. It's sad that Pete Duell died during the series, as he played the part very well. The replacement actor they brought in for the 3rd and final season just wasn't as good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because when they put the set together, the 1st season was at the back of the set (not such a big deal), but the 2nd and 3rd seasons weren't separated. All the discs said "season 2 and 3". And none of the discs were labelled as to which order they went in. I had to search the IMDB website to figure out the order the discs were supposed to go in. Especially for the 2nd and 3rd season. I've never seen them stamp multiple seasons on discs that only had 1 season on it. None of the discs had episodes from both the 2nd and 3rd season, so they could've (and should've) kept the seasons separate. The series itself gets 5 stars from us though. We would definitely recommend this series.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show w/a Tragic End
Unfortunate ending: At age 30, Peter Duel blows his brains out after the second season. w/o Duel, the show fails. Duel had "it", that one indefinable trait that leads to stardom, fame and fortune. Destined to be the 1970's version of James Dean. A tragic loss. Buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Penfield NY, his childhood town.
5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money
All the DVD collection in one case for convenience, one western series I really enjoyed.Video quality is good but not fantastic.But remember it is on DVD and the age of the series to take into consideration.Overall an excellent buy for a well loved TV series!

Great Feel Two-Nice-Outlaws 70s Western series filmed in Glorious American West
I fell in love with this series straightaway as a 12 year old in the early 1970s. For starters, not only does it have the most awesomely fun theme music imaginable but its weekly re-telling of who Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry really are ("They were the most successful outlaws in the West but they never shot anyone, which made our two cousins from Kansas very popular with everyone except the banks and the railroads" - what a great chat-up line !) puts one in great feel modus before the episode has even begun. The outlaws are then usually shown romping on horses through the glorious American West and, although they are shown griping and feeling hungry, the music inspires the viewers to believe that this poor, lonesome Lucky Luke-style life is just one ever-lasting holiday.I even knew a retired teacher who insisted that she only watched the series for the glorious scenery - yet I strongly suspect that she had a secret crush on the two young outlaws. Inspired by the 1969 movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (which was in turn based on the real-live but always amicable outlaw Butch Cassidy) our Kansas heroes are so nice and decent that they often end up naively falling into trouble where they mean no harm.My only gripe is that the story writer (John Thomas James – a pen-name more fit for another genre of movies !) thought that plots that were as complicated as hell are better than ones with simple, emotional punches. Even the technology of dvds often doesn't leave one any the wiser – which is why I also recommend Sagala's and Bagwell's book to the film.The sad fact of this very popular series was that the original actor of Hannibal Heyes, Pete Duel, suffered from depression and accidentally shot himself after the 35th episode. He was immediately replaced by Roger Davies, who looked older and acted perhaps a little sleezily. I never had any qualms with the change but the series soon lost its popularity and was cancelled after the 50th episode.
Great TV series.
Brings back a lot of memories
Excellent
Excellent picture quality considering that the episodes are over 50 years old. I always loved this show as a kid and I'm very happy now that I can watch it all over again
