DR. KILDARE THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON - FINALLY, AN OFFICIAL RELEASE!
*UPDATE* The picture quality is really nice on this release!
After years of attempting to purchase this series on numerous websites, only to be seriously disappointed with 'bootleg' copies - the search is finally over! With a premier and 'official' release to DVD on April 16, 2013 by Warner Archive - DR. KILDARE fans can now toss those 'bootlegs' and enjoy a newly remastered copy of this vintage and pioneering medical television series. DR. KILDARE aired from '61-'66 encompassing a total of 190 episodes during its five years run, and tells the story of a young intern (later resident) named "Dr. James Kildare" (Richard Chamberlain), working at "Blair General" dealing with problems while learning his profession and working to earn the favor of his superior "Dr. Leonard Gillespie" (played by Raymond Massey).

More than I remembered
I had an incredible crush on Richard Chamberlain after this series started. I was only twelve then. I hope the second season comes out because I can remember the episode with Robert Redford.

Now that I've seen the first 4 episodes I realize how well written and acted this series was. I can't wait to see the complete series "with maturity".
