Owen Wister's 1902 western novel The Virginian was one of the first great novels of the American West. Set in the semi-mythical town of Medicine Bow, Wyoming in the 1890s, it chronicled the lives and relationships of the people who came west and settled the wild land. Starring James Drury in the title role, The Virginian was the first 90 minute television western, airing in prime time on NBC from 1962-1971. The stellar cast included Lee J. Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clark and Roberta Shore, and each week brought talented guest stars to The Virginian. Season Two's line-up includes Joan Blondell, Broderick Crawford, Everett Sloan, Pat O'Brien, Iron Eyes Cody, Jane Wyatt, and many more. 30 Full Color Episodes fully restored and digitally re-mastered.
While the second season of the classic western show has been available for some time exclusively at one of the "club" stores, Timeless Media Group has announced today that they will make it available to the general public on December 7th with their 10-DVD release of The Virginian - The Complete 2nd Season: Collector's Tin.

Cost is $79.98 SRP, and you can pre-order it using the Amazon button link found just over the picture of the collectible tin packaging. Our thanks to our reader, "Ron," for making sure we had seen that pre-order listing at Amazon!
