By the middle of the 20th century, Autry was a box office smash with his musical B Westerns, touring with his rodeo across the United States and the British Isles, and had several gold records, including his Christmas classic, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Autry's highly anticipated television debut on CBS-TV on July 23, 1950, placed him immediately in the ranks of television's topmost attractions. What's more, with TV, America's beloved cowboy star added still another to his long list of illustrious "firsts." He became the first topflight motion picture star to make films especially for the Golden Age of Television.

The program follows the adventures of singing cowboy Gene Autry, his Wonder Horse Champion, and his sidekick Pat Buttram. Each unique show has Gene's trademark mixture of action, comedy, and singing. It also features a wide range of guests, including Gail Davis, Alan Hale Jr., Harry Lauter, Donna Martell, Denver Pyle, Elaine Riley, William Fawcett, Gloria Winter, and Dick Jones. Now, for the first time on DVD, the complete Season Two of Gene Autry's landmark television series The Gene Autry Show is brought home in these fully restored and uncut episodes from Gene's personal film and television archive. See for yourself why the hard-riding, furious-fighting, smooth-singing Gene Autry is considered "America's Favorite Singing Cowboy."
