Dead Man's Gun Season One
This Western series that was billed as a cross between "Gunsmoke" & "The Twilight Zone" when it orignally appeared on Showtime in the late 1990's has finally been released on DVD & it has been worth the wait! Each episode revolves around the story of a cursed gun that brings misery to whoever possesses it. Ominously narrated by Kris Kristofferson, each episode is a different story with a completely different cast, the gun being the only thing central to each episode.
Alliance (Universal) has done a magnificent job of presenting crystal quality of the episodes on each disk. In season one you get every episode that appeared in the series INCLUDING the first three episodes (The Great McDonagle, Fool's Gold & My Brother's Keeper) which were originally shown on Showtime before Dead Man's Gun was made into a series and NOT usually seen in the reruns on TV.

Dead Man's Gun
The writing on this is superb. The twists of the story are innovative, and you never know if the main charactor or the gun will win in the end. The number of big name stars in this series are many. The only thing that they all share, is this absolutely gorgeous gun that appears to be a special Army Colt that gets passed from person to person. The gun is pure evil. So, does evil win, or does good triumph over evil? I wish they had made way more than the episodes they did. isnt' that always the way with the good stuff?
I like it a lot!
I recently started to record this show, wish I had done it earlier, I loved it! It is like a western Twilight Zone/
The Dark Side! I recently watched the episode called: The Ripper, OMG, I was so intrigued to know who the killer really was, but the ending really surprised me! I plan on ordering seasons one/two, since most shows on the local networks suck so bad! Keep them coming Mr. Winkler, you have a hit on your hands!
