Death Valley Days: Season Thirteen - The Ronald Reagan Years [Collector's Edition] [DVD]

Ronald Reagan hosts the thirteenth season of the Western classic Death Valley Days! One of the longest running programs in broadcast history hits new heights as Death Valley Days introduces its most famous host: film actor and future President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Taking over hosting duties from previous host Stanley Andrews (in his "Old Ranger" character) in the 1964-65 season, Reagan brought a new level of gravitas to the anthology series – gravitas that has only taken on more weight and significance in the ensuing decades of history. Reagan's undeniable charisma and screen presence, coupled with the series' standard approach of presenting grounded, reality-based tales of the West, made this thirteenth season of Death Valley Days a high water mark in the series' historic legacy. In addition to Mr. Reagan, this season of Death Valley Days features appearances from such noteworthy names as Tom Skerritt, Denver Pyle, Phyllis Coates, James Best, June Lockhart, and Leonard Nimoy, and offers twenty-six solid episodes of classic, engaging entertainment that all Western fans will want in their collection. This set represents the best quality and most complete master source available for these episodes.
