High Chaparral in video or DVD?


June 1, 2004

Hello,

Has anybody ever seen this TV program on video or on DVD? This has been my all time favorite western television show and I cannot find copies of it anywhere on videocassette or DVD. I love this television program. If you have ever seen it in video format or DVD please let me know. Thank you.

Well if you find a DVD with The High Chaparral please let me know, my parents named me after Manolito Montoya, I've seen some episodes (reruns) when I was older, but I've never found a video or DVD...

High Chaparral is not available on Video or DVD. The makers of the programme 'Lions Gate' will not release it for general sale.

If it is so Lion Gate suck

I agree with you. If you wish to express your opinion please e-mail [email protected] she is the organiser of the HC fan club, and a crusader for the release on DVD all episodes of the High Chaparral by the Lions Gate organisation.

This is Denise (hcsawbones)

I am a strong advocate of the DVD release but we are an ad hoc lobby and I'm only one voice among many. My name gets on a lot of stuff because I have organized the Reunions.

I encourage everyone to visit www.thehighchaparral.com to sign the petition for DVDs and check out photos of the Reunion with all the wonderful guests, cast and crew, who joined us for brunch.

One day NBC, the rights holder, will realize they are sitting on a goldmine even if they don't think about any of the other reasons this should be preserved.

If lion gate refuse to release the high chapparral series on dvd then perhaps those of you who do have copies could make copies and distribute them accordingly, and despite copyright laws this will stir some action up from the lion gate people.what about the actors themselves who would benefit if the series were released officially?

Hello Sir: Yes I would appreciate it if you would take my email and contact me at your leisure and or discretion with regards to my interest in the High
Chaparral episodes. I am trying to find them for an elderly friend. She swore that "the guns of johnny rondo" was a single that Faron Young had put out. Searched and searched, wound up here. Let me know, I would love to surprise her with the shows.

reply

We are all filing a petition to get this show on DVD so please go to the
http://www.thehighchaparral.com site and sign up and also contact Lions Gate
Enternt. directly too.

You can get every episode uncut from sites like tv addicts. Judging from the editing quality of some of the dvds officially released recently of old shows from this period, I would go with these uncut copies.

TV Addicts are a bootleg site with a terrible reputation. Made in China.
Discs won't play (if you receive them at all). Check out Complaints board & other sites for more info.

Also they are taped from TV Land & similar stations. They will be heavily cut despite their claims to the contary.

reply

The first season has been released in Germany and is available at amazon germany, if you have a multi region DVD player you should be able to watch them. Season two is expected to be released soon. These are legal copies, no bootleg.

reply

Season officially announced to be released December 9, 2010.

reply

It's available as an import from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/High-Chaparral-Entire-NON-USA-Germany/dp/B003TLH PIM. Note that this is a Region 2 DVD in PAL (European) format. I'm in the UK and have a multi-region DVD player so I can play Region 1 DVDs - I assume it's possible to do the opposite in the US.

reply

In Germany now all seasons has been released with season 4 in February 2012.
In May 2012 season 1 will appear in The Netherlands.
All episodes are uncut and with English subtitles.

Several sellers on eBay are selling the complete Series (uncut and without commercials) on DVD in English. These are recordings from Collector's and do not have fancy Cases or Artwork that would be found on commercially made sets. There is quite a variance in Prices. My set cost $59.95 and the Video/Audio Quality is excellent for a 40 Year old Series and one that was not produced by Professionals.

The following link on eBay is where I purchased my complete set:

Good news added 6/29/13: The new price is now 37.99 plus $4.75 S&H.

Or you could download them from youtube for free. Someone put up episodes in superior format to the DVD's I bought.

UncleRob for President! Or, at least, Hall Monitor!
