McCLOUD - THE COMPLETE SERIES + BONUS (NBC 1970-1977) RETAIL QUALITY!!! Dennis Weaver, J.D. Cannon, Terry Carter, Diana Muldaur

Saddle up for suspense, humor, and the wild adventure of the classic '70s crime drama McCloud, starring Dennis Weaver as Marshal Sam McCloud—a straight-shooting cowboy from Taos, New Mexico, who brings his rugged charm and unique brand of justice to the mean streets of New York City. As part of the NYPD’s Special Investigations Unit, McCloud solves crimes his own way, often clashing with his uptight boss, Chief Clifford, played by J.D. Cannon and partnered with Sgt. Joe Broadhurst, played by Terry Carter.

Following a two-hour pilot film that aired on February 17, 1970 – loosely based on the Clint Eastwood film Coogan’s Bluff (1968) – the opening episode of McCloud was broadcast on September 16, 1970, as part of Four-in-One, a one-hour NBC series airing in the 10-11 p.m. time slot on Wednesday nights. It comprised of a quartet of unconnected dramas, including Night Gallery (an anthology of horror stories hosted by Rod Serling), San Francisco International (starring ex-Sea Hunt star Lloyd Bridges as the manager of Northern California’s largest and busiest airport) and The Psychiatrist, with Roy Thinnes playing Dr James Whitman. (The 6 original 60-minute episodes of McCloud season 1 were later combined into 3 new episodes for syndication. Some material was cut and some linking voice-overs were added. These versions are included in this complete set!)

McCloud then became part of The NBC Mystery Movie franchise, where it remained alongside Columbo and McMillan & Wife throughout its six-year run, winning Dennis Weaver four Emmy Award nominations.

With McCloud’s Western grit and humor colliding with NYC’s fast-paced streets, every episode is a mix of thrilling action, mystery, and good old-fashioned cowboy charm as he squares off against city slickers, mobsters, and assassins alike.  The series featured an array of notable guest stars, including Diana Muldaur, John Denver, Stefanie Powers, Teri Garr, Jack Cassidy, Richard Dawson, Burgess Meredith, and soon to be Charlie’s Angels Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett, as well as unforgettable performances by Shelley Winters, Danny Thomas, and Larry Hagman.

The complete DVD set also includes the bonus 1989 reunion movie The Return of Sam McCloud in which ex-Marshal McCloud is now senator of New Mexico, fighting for a new environment law. 

Rediscover a beloved classic with all the clever plots, car chases, and unforgettable showdowns that made McCloud a standout hit and Dennis Weaver an icon of television crime fighting. Perfect for fans of classic TV and anyone who loves a fish-out-of-water story with a rugged twist!

“There you go” . . .
