Lonesome Dove, and others - Rating: 5/5
I have never been disappointed with anything from Amazon. A couple of times there have been gliches, but they were immediately resolved. Amazon is one of my favorite places. I think I am addicted. And, also, the prices are the best anywhere.

Classic Western Tale of Adventure - worth every minute - Rating: 5/5
In order to give full disclosure - I am a pretty big fan of Westerns. The genre appeals to me, and Lonesome Dove is simply put, one of the best. This made for tv mini-series tells the intriguing tale of Gus and Woodrow, two old Texas Rangers. The casting choice of Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones is perfect for these two characters. They both are riveting in these roles, and make you admire the pure masculine leadership they demonstrate leading the cattle drive from Texas to Montana, and the adventures they encounter along the way.
Others have already described all the sub-plots and characters involved in this epic drama. The series contains everything you need in a good Western - tough men, good humor, enormous challenges, interesting plot twists, exciting gun fights, bad guys, good guys, strange characters, love, loss, hardship....it is all there. There is something for everyone whether you are a Western fan, or not. If the final scene between Gus and Woodrow does not bring tears to your eyes then you should check in at the nearest hospital.
I recently bought the DVDs and watched the entire series again, and was just as interested as the first time I saw them. My wife and kids have greatly enjoyed Lonesome Dove as well. I highly recommend Lonesome Dove to any fan of Westerns, or anyone looking for a great American tale of adventure. Well worth the time.
