Product: The Sacketts [VHS] (1979)
Rating: 1.0
Who paid these reviewers?
I can not understand these raving reviews. The comparison to Lonesome Dove makes me almost as queasy as this series. The acting by Sam Eliot was over the top. Lifetime relationships were formed and broken in minutes over the most trivial of things. The character played by Tom Selleck loses a wife and is tomcatting in the next five minutes.I did not know whether to laugh or cry with the cardboard characters portrayed by the mother and the dumb blond Selleck fell in love with. The ending was lame and anti climatic. Veteran actors such as Glen Ford/Slim Pickens/John Vernon/etc reduced to Monty Python status. Did these people really see westerns such as Lonesome Dove or Broken Trail or Unforgiven or The Outlaw Josey Wales or The Good,The Bad and the Ugly, just to name a few??? I honestly feel these "reviewers" were blind or bought. You should have partial stars as this series does not even rate one.I want my money back.
