Pilot (part 1)

Warning: Spoilers
First part of the Pilot, which you really have to watch in order to understand everything that is going to happen in the next episodes. John Cannon, his brother Buck, son Billy Blue and wife Annalee arrive in the Arizona Territory after they have traveled a thousand miles to get there. We get a good insight of the characters from the very beginning. Big John Cannon, a harsh, tough man, determined to tame the country even if it kills him, and thinks his son needs to be toughened up. Billy Blue, his sensitive son, for whom it is impossible to understand his father, full of compassion, always willing to help. Buck, John's brother, who often acts as an intervenor between John and Blue, he's a fighting, drinking man with a hard of gold. John's sensitive wife Annalee.

The bunkhouse boys are recruited in this episode as well. Sam, Joe, Pedro, Reno and Ira join the family at the ranch, where we also see Vaquero for the first time.

Action, drama, humor, everything is present in this episode. Very funny scene when Buck tries to introduce Blue to a saloon girl.

The High Chaparral restored at last...the opening episode!!!
elo-equipamentos26 September 2019
Some years ago I did watch some few episodes of this amusing series on TCM, however in bad image and sound, actually a bad dubbing version, then came up firstly it on DVD rip-off from the same source as official release, I'd really hated it, now finally arrives on stores two box-set with original audio totally restored the first season and officially from CBS that holds the copyright.

Destination Tucson as the opening episode show us how the Cannon family arrives at those dry land on Arizona territory and how they named the farm as Chaparral, from a little brush very profuse in those area among giant cactus, were introduce all regular casting and sad happening when the kind Annalee has been shot by an Indian arrow, just a little entry what's coming next!!!

Resume:

First watch: 2012 / How many: 2 / Source: Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 6.5.
