catsndogs I only saw one episode of this series when it first aired, due to the fact that I didn't have cable at the time, and I couldn't get the station very well. I bought this on DVD and watched it a couple of weeks ago. The feel of the first episode was quite up to the pilot, but then the series soon found its own way. Pity it was canceled so soon. Legend probably suffered from being behind its time, as westerns just weren't popular (note the cancellation of my favorite, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. the previous year). But it was also ahead of its time, with one episode featuring, get this, a version of a small flying spy drone! There were fun supporting characters, and guest stars, such as Robert Englund, William Russ, and John Pyper-Ferguson, fresh from the canceled Brisco County Jr. still looking & sounding much like Pete Hutter. I suggest everyone to get this one on DVD!!

ronmccraw I loved the show when it was on. I never missed an episode. Unfortunately, they canceled it. That seems to happen a lot to TV shows that are original and brilliant like this one.I am something of an amateur history buff and the idea of a show set in the late 1800's Colorado that looked forward to the things we take for granted today was incredible. How many young men were attracted to travel west back then because of dime-store novels like those produced by Nicodemus Legend? Of course, the truth never quite lived up to the fiction.Now that "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr" is out on DVD, will Paramount see the light and release this series on DVD?

frizbat-1 God, I loved this series. Luckily, I taped them. Bartok was indeed a Tesla clone. What a wonderful, imaginative, wholesome show this was. I knew it was doomed because it was so good and so weird. The main character seemed to be base upon Ned Buntline, a 19th century writer who wrote stories and dime novel popularizations about Western heroes such as Wild Bill Cody. His own life was as colorful as the characters about whom he wrote. Richard Dean Anderson's next venture, Stargate SG-1, is one of the very best Sci-Fi shows ever, and is one of my very favorite all-time TV shows. Of course, it is a continuation of the "Stargate" movie starring Kurt Russel. What a great show. Intelligent, exciting and funny. Just love it.

bdwoolf Legend ranks up there as one of the best vehicles that Richard Dean Anderson has ever done. His character(s) of Ernest Pratt/Nicodemus Legend were unique to anything he had ever done before. RDA admits that this was the project that he loved the best patterning Ernest Pratt after his grandfather. It would be wonderful if Paramount, who still owns the rights to the show, would allow Mr. Anderson and Mr. de Lancie to reprise their roles in a made for TV movie. Both have said that they would be delighted to do so. For anyone who hasn't seen this delightful show, check with TVLand who has shown it at least once in the past.
