From out of the clear blue of the western sky comes Sky King

"I can't imagine a single baby-boomer that didn't love this series as a child. I can only remember watching it on Saturday mornings but what a treat! For the moment I seem to recall two episodes. The one with a "haunted house with a screaming woman" (Sky found a hidden speaker under a table) and an episode where a Native American tribe was in need of rain and Sky King used good ole Songbird to 'seed' the clouds.
Oh, the memories and to have the whole set. Well this DVD is a start. I'll roll the dice as the price is nice!"

"Episodes include The Wild Man, Sky Robbers, A Dog Named Barney and Bullet Bait 1958/b&w/105 min/NR.
This is the same DVD as the other SKY King DVD that has the black and white cover. They have the same four episodes."

"This is great. As a baby boomer I remember watching this every saturday morning along with The Lone Ranger, and Fury. Today's jaded kids would find it a bore. It takes alot to stimulate today's younger generation. But in a more inocent time (when going out for a hot dog or ice-cream was a big deal) Sky King was was up there as a top kids show. I plan on buying the whole series."
Memories from the living room rug

"There's never any doubt with Sky who's gonna swoop down and
make the varmit pay. The four half hour segments hold true
to our values. Suitable for children of all ages with story
lines that are interesting and good to the last frame. TV the way it used to be - 100%."
Great nostalgia

"As a child of the 50's it was fun getting to watch Sky King again. There were even some old ads included. I doubt my grandkids would sit still for any of these but I sure enjoyed seeing Sky and Penny. There is a good website devoted to the show, do a Google search for it and you'll find it."
