I recently bought a 16 DVD- 80 episode set of this series off of e-bay for about $25 i beleive it was. Just thought i would let u know for those that are interested. Don't know if it's the whole series or not but i assume it is.they had more on there at the time for same price. i saw it somewhere else online for $40.

new,very good quality dvds. a couple of them have had the episodes mislabled on the the dvd so far but i aint ganna complain.

well i have watched half of them now and haven't had a problem yet other than 2 of them had the episodes lists switched around. they didnt improve the picture quality any but didn't hurt it any either- i don't think there is any way to improve on the old black and white shows is there- other than colorizing i mean

Gents,

The Rifleman has 168 episodes.

This page:

http://www.riflemanconnors.com/AL-producerscorner.htm

...has some scattered comments on the various DVD releases, and the topic of colorizing, straight from the mouth of one of the series' producers, Arnold Laven.

I have seen all but about 24 episodes.
