 As to run length... November 17, 2003

According to Amazon.com's "technical details" link for this item, the total run time is 240 minutes. According to IMDB, the miniseries first broadcast in 1989 runs 384 minutes. This jives with my recollection of four two-hour episodes, with commercials, broadcast in the winter of early 1989. So YES, this is an edited version: Almost 2-1/2 hours have been removed. That seems a fairly severe abridgement. I wouldn't consider buying such a chop-up of this great, great Western. Five stars for the original film, one star for chainsaw editing.

Just a note for the viewer in Minneapolis...the original miniseries was EIGHT hours long, not six...any edited version of such a classic, especially when 25% has been cut, is bound to be disappointing...
Horrible video transfer February 16, 2000
26 out of 29 found this review helpful
For a movie of this caliber, Hallmark and Artisan showed no respect in transferring this western epic to DVD. The movie looks like it was copied from an EP version of the videotape.The picture quality was grainy and dark. Much of the movie is blurry. You can actually see the scenes getting lighter and darker as the movie progressed. It was so bad, I could not watch the movie after the first hour. The Cabin Fever version on video tape was so much better. I am going to try and get my money back for this poor effort. Please, do NOT buy this version. If you have to, rent it first. Hallmark and Artisan have managed to make the worst DVD I have ever seen.
A severe case of editing November 8, 2003

I saw the original Lonesome Dove series on TV and fortunalely was able to tape it. After buying a DVD player I bought the DVD because of the supposedly better picture quality and no commercials.Was I ever dissapointed. Parts of the program were edited out as the story went along. The unforgiveable sin was the abrupt ending of the story leaving out atleast a third of the story and the conclusion. I want my money back. Bob Glover

To top things off, Lonesome Dove has released two versions of their film. The full length version (released some time ago) is out of stock per Amazon. The new version is 2/3 the film. But both versions show the same reviews on Amazon. So check the technical details to be sure the version that you are buying is the full length.
