The Young Riders Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Marissa-A-Smith I watched The Young Riders when it first aired on Thursday nights at 8pm. I was 15 and my best friend, who rode horses, would rave about this new western on TV. On her suggestion, I decided to check it out. I was hooked in one episode! The show had such an impact on me; in some weird way, I think it really helped me to grow up into a better/stronger person than I was! Now, 15 years later, as an adult, I just got the DVD of Season 1 for Christmas. I thought I might be embarrassed by my earlier obsession, but I was wrong! I fell in love with the show all over again! There is just some special quality to the characters and their relationships to one another that really sets this show apart. I am really hoping Seasons 2 and 3 get released on DVD. And another thing that hasn't changed: Gregg/Buck is still my favorite character and the hottest/most sensitive rider!
PippinTheHobbit First of all I want to say that I LOVE this show. This was the first new show I watched with my parents as a family on a regular basis, and was second only to The Waltons. The characters are fantastic, it's action-packed, romantic, emotional, and just overall endearing. I believe this show is one of the main reasons that I love American History so much, to this day I search for anything I can find about the Pony Express. And now it has been released on DVD (just season 1 so far), and I have been watching at least one episode a day, reliving the love I felt for this show when I saw it as a young girl who started off simply loving it because it had beautiful horses and a girl that was just as good as the boys.
shadowcat5462002 I went to high school with cute Greg Rainwater, he was in one of our school plays here in southeast Michigan, Macomb county. See www.retrojunk.com for a poster picture. Who would of thought he'd get cuter and become famous. Anyhow, Young Riders was definitely an incredible show featuring great plots, great cute men (young baldwin brother, Josh Brolin, Ike, Greg, and that other cute brunette guy with the roan horse. The series had a great location/scenery. It was a family-appropriate show without all that swearing and skin showing like so much of today's TV shows. I would definitely buy this if it came out on DVD, cause I never did tape it. With all the 'revamping' they are doing of old TV shows (like MASH, Wonder Woman, Buck Rogers (80s), Greatest American Hero, etc. it should only be a matter of time. In liking a show like this, it's no wonder I really enjoyed Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Devon Steinbacher I was a big fan of this show while it was on the air, and now I am trying to find it on DVD, and having no luck...I hope someone involved with the show figures out that there is still a fan base, and we would like to own this short-lived, guilty pleasure show. I realize that the show is pretty old, and didn't do so well while it was on, but it has been playing on the family channel for a couple of years now, and since I don't have cable, I can't watch it, so my only option is to rent/buy the DVDs if they ever come out! I can't imagine that it would cost too much for the company to turn the show into 3 seasons worth of DVDs, and I think they would easily earn back their investment from old fans of the show. Hopefully someone who can do this will read these comments from myself and other fans.
