"One of the few Hollywood stars who made the transition from silent films, to talkies and then to television, William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy) made a franchise out of his black-hatted, dapper portrayal of do-gooder Hopalong Cassidy (based on the work of Clarence E. Mulford) when he took his act to television in 1949 after filming 66 popular B westerns. Following the same script as his highly successful movies, featuring lots of action and beautiful on-location cinematography, The Hopalong Cassidy television show drew a large audience, ranking #7 on the Neilson ratings in 1949, and inspiring later TV shows including The Gene Autry Show and The Roy Rogers Show. Hopalong was so popular a cultural hero in 1950 that he was featured on the covers of Time, Life and Look magazines, and his image appeared on lunchboxes, wristwatches, dinner plates and even soap, 2,600 different Hopalong collectibles in all! Together with his beautiful silver horse, Topper, and his sidekick Red Connors (the great Edgar Buchanan), Hopalong righted wrongs and punished the bad guys, while turning the classic image of the white-hatted good guy upside down with his signature black ten gallon hat! Now TMG and the U.S. Television Office, Inc. are proud to present all fifty-two copyrighted episodes of Hopalong Cassidy, beautifully restored from the original film masters, in this special 6 DVD set. So gather the whole family, kick back and get ready to experience the golden age of the television western with Hopalong, Topper and Red as they ride the range and bring the spirit of the Old West to life."--Container.
