Adventures of Robin Hood:Vol 1

Customer Reviews:

Poor Quality.......2007-01-22

I got this for my 7 and 10 year old boys who are really into Robin Hood now. They watched the old disney movie of Robin Hood and loved it. However, the picture in this is often very dark making it difficult to see the actors. Also the sound is very bad. Some of the plots are a little boring. But I think my kids would still be okay with watching them if it was better quality. I wanted something not so violent or fraught with sexual innuendo, which this isn't. I just wish it was easier to watch.

Buy By The Season!.......2006-05-10

I purchased from Amazon.co.uk each of the four seasons of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" - all 143 episodes - for about $20 per season.

Digital transfer was excellent and our entire family has enjoyed the series. Packaging involved sturdy plastic cases, each containing 2 DVD's, with 8 episodes per disk. I found this a great value and wanted to recommend it to others interested in the Robin Hood series.

The BEST heroic series of the 50's.......2006-01-20

Richard Greene lives again in Volume one of the Adventures of Robin Hood. We get 4 episodes of the series including the first episode: "The Coming of Robin Hood".

Since the complete seasons are not available in US format (you can buy them at Amazon UK) this is the best way to fill up your collection with these public domain offerings.

It is worth noting that episode #3 "The Borrowed Baby" is one of the few episodes where Richard Greene doesn't appear at all. Film fans will recognize Donald Pleasence as Prince John in the 4th episode "The Ambush" along with Edward Mullhare who you might recognize from the series "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" who appeared off and on during the series run.

All in all a first rate start to the the collection (now on Volume 10).

Classic old TV adventure series.......2005-10-26

Some vintage episodes in this great old series from my youth. Sort of crude by today's standards, but crisp dialog, nifty plot twists, wonderful character developement and a terrific and nefarious collection of villains and rogues. Splendid entertainment for those cold, rainy weekends.
Enjoy a touch of the old days when programs like this were the thing to watch and enjoy.

A good souvenir from my Youth.......2005-06-17

It is a good souvenir from my Youth. It is in black and white and the sound is not perfect but it always remember me the time when I was only 8 years old. If you do not know the classic series of Robin Hood, buy at least the DVD #1 to learn of Robin of Loxley is become Robin Hood.

Brave Sir Robin.......2007-07-12

THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD was a children's program that ran four seasons on the CBS-TV network. Between September 26, 1955 and November 12, 1960, 143 half-hour episodes aired. This show was unusual for casting-- the same actors appeared in different roles, or different actors were used for recurring characters. The main plot was straighforward enough: Robin and men were charged with protecting England from evil Prince John while King Richard was away fighting the Crusades.

Richard Greene (Robin Hood)
Donald Pleasence (Prince John 1955-1958)
Rufus Cruikshank (Little John 1955-1956)
