Product Description

I remember this series from the 80s. The acting was good and the story was great. Being older and more aware of history, I find I enjoy the series even more.

I waited for years for this series, so happy it is available. I love the idea of a pacifist who must fight for his freedom, Will Lyman is great, the entire series, except maybe the last season is fun entertainment.

What a joke this program is! The original late 1950s TV series William Tell, while far less glitzy than this version, was also far more realistic and believable, and recommended if you like these kinds of historical sagas. In Crossbow, all Tell does is drift from unwelcoming village to unwelcoming village -- sometimes alone, sometimes with various other people who come and go with no explanation. He is skinny, often cowardly, and does not impress as being particularly bright. Certainly this Tell was not a leader of anything much less a revolution. At times this show approaches bizarre: women warriors, people wearing skin-tight leather pants, sorcery and wizardry -- not to mention the inclusion of black and Asian actors, no doubt to demonstrate that in the early 14th century Switzerland was a bastion of diversity. And seasons change without warning within the episodes: one minute it's summer and next there's snow on the ground. There are a few highlights to this show, however: Jeremy Clyde is wonderfully slimy and pathetic as Gessler; snippets of Rossini's overture often accompany the last scene of episodes; and best of all is the casting of Conrad Phillips, the original William Tell in the above-recommended 1950s version, as an old friend/mentor. If this is enough for you, along with laughing at and picking apart scenes, stories, characters, and dialogue, then be my guest. If you're expecting good entertainment you might want to pass on Crossbow.  William Tell

3.0 out of 5 stars 1950's Robin Hood Series Re-Born
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018

Trivia Question: What is the only series produced in France for American television? It is also the series with the absolute worst theme music known to man. Yep, it's the mid-1980's series "Crossbow" which is entertaining enough through its 72 episodes but which owes a lot to the Richard Greene 1950's "Robin Hood" series. If - and this is a big "IF" - you survive the worst theme music ever used on a program - over-synthesized, over-orchestrated (with overly loud synthesizer accompaniment no less) - not music which one would associate with a medieval period drama - for that matter, I'm not too sure what the music would be good for - you've got an enjoyable little series to watch.

Each episode runs about 22-23 minutes in length which means if you watched it on TV, you had about 7 minutes of commercials. And, if you remove the opening (which seems to run forever, but it has to be because of the godawful music) and the closing credits, you have about 19 minutes of programming, presumably set in Switzerland, although if you read the closing credits (hit the "Mute" button on your remote!), you see it was all filmed in France.

Briefly - the series stars Will Lyman as Tell, who, unlike Robin Hood mentioned earlier, does not have a band of merrye men to accompany him, although he does have a few helpers here and there. He's basically a lone wolf out to bring down the evil Governor Gessler, (a Sheriff of Nottingham type character), marvelously played by singer Jeremy Clyde (of Chad and Jeremy fame). Truth be told, when you have a scene featuring Gessler (Clyde), he steals it - as a villain, he is among the best. There are some episodes which run from one week to the next and those are the best; the remainder are stand-alone episodes with Tell sometimes walking around the countryside, other times riding a magnificent white stallion. Most are enjoyable although there are a couple of clunkers in each season.

If you're into swordplay and people getting gored, while the display of blood is kept to a minimum, there is plenty of action as well. Admittedly, the sound of two aluminum swords (which they didn't have during that time period) striking each other, doesn't have the same effect as iron would have, but since the series was obviously aimed at a younger audience, the kiddies wouldn't notice.

Overall, if you saw the series in the mid-'80's, you owe it to yourself to pick up this 6-disc set (12 episodes per disc), re-live some memories of your younger days, or check out the superb acting job turned in by Clyde. For the most part, the picture quality is quite good and the sound is as well although in some episodes, it is necessary to crank up the volume since the sound is muddied in places.

They need a little QC at this seller. Don't tell me you will sell me something and then two in a row do not function. I do not write bad reviews often because we are all doing our best. But we cannot have a seller that does not know that his product flat out does not work. Knowing your product is job #1.
