    Hello Wacco,

    Maybe it was your local station with the problems. I didn't notice any freeze frames or mis-matched lip-sync. Overall, it was quite good.

    If you had read the book, Val Kilmer played the character well. I do agree, he missed on the accent, but that was the only flaw.

    I read in the TV guide that is was not very good, but I disagree. I think, so far, that it is far better done than Dead Man's Walk was. I am looking foward to seeing the other two parts.

    The actors that played Gus (Steve Zahn) and Woodrow (Karl Urban) did an excellent job. Gus was played almost exactly the way Duvall had played him. Well done! Even the woman who played Clara (Linda Cardellini) did the character right.

    Did anyone else enjoy it as I did? Let us know. Looking foward to hearing your views. For me...thumbs up!:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

    Thanks for bringing that to our attention, Phantomstranger. I sure will give it a look. I loved the book. I hope it is better than the adaption of Dead Man's Walk. The book was good but the movie didn't hold a candle to the original Lonesome Dove. Same with Streets of Loredo, great book but so-so movie.

    For those who don't know the order in which the story unfolds:

    Dead Man's Walk - Gus and Woodrow become Rangers
    Comanche Moon - The early years as Rangers
    Lonesome Dove - The Cattle Drive
    Streets Of Loredo - Call's last man-hunt.

    For those that love to read, I recommend all 4 books. Larry McMurtry has a way with writing westerns.
