Laredo: Complete Series

Laredo, with its wonderful cast, gorgeous color photography, western ambiance and tight, serio-comic scripts, is one of the best television westerns to be found. Premiering in prime time as an episode of The Virginian, Laredo was immediately signed for a full season due to its big hit status. It brings together three Texas Rangers with distinctive personalities, strength and weaknesses, under the stern command of Captain Edward Parmalee (Philip Carey). Wacky Reese (Neville Brand), brawny Joe (William Smith) and smooth Chad (Peter Brown) are equally good at roughhouse humor as well as serious law keeping. Chad and Joe are particularly good with the ladies, something most westerns of the day shied away from. In Season 2, Clause Akins joined the cast as Cotton, a character similar to Brand's Reese, and Robert Wolders made several appearances as Ranger Erik Hunter. This blend of western comedy and high drama makes Laredo a standout in the genre of television westerns.
