We finally have a little clarity from Timeless Media regarding Season 1 of The Virginian. After announcing two separate volumes for Season 1 for general release due on March 9th, then pulling back to only allow those sets in club stores, they have now set a general public release date of May 25th for The Virginian - The Complete First Season.

Whereas season one was going to be contained on twelve discs in two separate volumes, this newly announced set will be in a collector's tin and be on ten discs.

It will retail for $79.95, but is available here at ClassicFlix.com for only $54.99. Full details, including bonus features are below.

SYNOPSIS:
The Virginian was the first 90 minute television western airing in prime time on NBC from 1962-1971. The stellar cast included James Drury, Lee J. Cobb, Doug McClure, Gary Clark, and Roberta Shore, and each week brought talented guest stars to The Virginian.

Fully Restored and Digitally Remastered, Full Color Episodes from the NBC Vault. Guest Stars include Bette Davis, George C. Scott, Eddie Albert, Charles Bickford, Shirley Knight and Fabian.

BONUS FEATURE:

• Exclusive Interviews with James Drury, Roberta Shore, Gary Clark, Robert Fuller and Peter Brown

SEMI-POSTPONED: The Virginian - Season 1

Back in December, we announced the upcoming March 9th of The Virginian - Season 1 from Timeless Media. Word has now come that they've opted to let the club stores have first crack at the release as they did with the recently released Wagon Train - Season 1.

However, within two weeks of Wagon's release, they opened it up for all retailers. While there is no guarantee it will happen with The Virginian, we expect it we'll have access to it sometime in March.

For those who have pre-ordered it, we'll fulfill your orders by buying them at one of the club stores, but we're not taking any further orders at this time.

Rentals are not affected.
