Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This box set contains all 26 episodes of this somewhat obscure western filmed in 1961-62. The episodes appear to be complete, and have nice picture quality and sound. If you remember the show like I do , you'll enjoy this set.The show is similar to Wagon Train in that as the circus arrives in a new destination the main cast members ( Richard Jaeckel, John Derek, Chill Wills) get to interact with the guest cast. So each episode has a differant focus. The shows have strong scripts, and good acting. Packaging is first rate also. Timeless is doing a great job with their TV westerns. I'd love to see them release The 1961 NBC Civil War Show The Americans, or The Gray Ghost .

Frontier Circus - The Complete TV Series - 26 episodes! Never syndicated and never released on DVD, Frontier Circus nonetheless has a loyal following even 40 years after it was cancelled. How, Timeless Media Group and NBC bring you the complete series, restored and re-mastered for DVD. Set in the Southwest during the late 1800's, Frontier Circus was a cross between a circus drama and a traditional western. The T&T Circus, operated by Colonel Casey Thompson (Chill Wills), traveled from town to town in a wagon train, entertaining the recent arrivals with animal acts and typical circus extras. Of course, the West being the West, the circus often ran into trouble. Ben Travis (John Derek) was the straw boss who supervised the workmen, and Tony Gentry (Richard Jaeckel) was the advance man. Rounding out the regular cast was veteran character actor J. Pat O'Malley as hired hand Duffy.Along the way, many notable guest stars "ran away" to the circus, including Aldo Ray, Harry Carey, Jr., Brian Keith, Vera Miles, Rip Torn, Cloris Leachman, Claude Akins, Stella Stevens and a unique star turn by Sammy Davis, Jr. Although Frontier Circus ran for only one season, its place in the history of the television western is secure.
