Movie Reviews of Sky King:Vol 1 TV Series
Movie Review: More Sky King please.
Summary: 4 Stars
As a kid in the 60's with only three channels of rabbit ear television to watch,catching a rerun of Sky King on a Saturday was like heaven. The show seemed terribly exciting then and combined all the elements a child of that era could want. It was like a crime drama, a western, and an action adventure show all rolled into one.
This offering is four episodes over an undetermined run of the series. I suppose these are episodes that have been allowed to lapse into public domain. There is more than one version of the opening of the show one of which looks like an old rotary engined beechcraft. The quality was quite watchable for showes of this vintage. My only regret is these are only four episodes (which seem to be the only ones in circulation at this time) Buyer beware if you find another sky king DVD it will probably be the same ones. Hopefully more of this great old show will become available in the near future. A bonus in this DVD is an old Nabisco commercial before one the episodes.
Movie Review: From out of the clear blue of the western sky comes....SKY KING!
Summary: 4 Stars
The sky won't be clear blue in these episodes becaues they are b&w, but that doesn't diminish the entertainment value of these old tv shows. Even though the plots are a little hokey it's great to watch this series and others of the era because they are still better than the trash on television today.
I read somewhere that the Sky King show inspired many youngsters to eventually obtain their pilot licenses. It was a good clean show helping to prove that right is right and wrong is wrong to the young veiwers.
I recommend this DVD and would like to see the rest of the series made available.
Movie Review: Sky King TV series
Summary: 4 Stars
As an 8-year old I loved this show, and seeing it again was just wonderful. Except there are only 4 episodes on the disc, and no other volumes available. I want them all! The Penny character, who I particularly loved as a boy, turns out to be a bit over acted, even melodramatic, but that's more about my memory than anything else.Movie Review: SkyKing

This was a gift to a co-worker who remembered watching her favorite show when she was a young girl. She has stated that she is enjoying the dvd and these were ones she had forgotten or never did see. The quality was great and the dvd came to me on time.Movie Review: Beware
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought 2 Sky King Videos of old TV shows. Both had different covers but both contained the same four episodes. One DVD stated the shows were from "1951" and the other DVD said "1958". Be careful when ordering multiple dvds of the same actor to make sure they are not duplicated. One cost $7.98 and one cost $4.98
