Michael Biehn (The Terminator), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Eric Close (TV's "Without a Trace") continue the saga made famous by John Sturges' Classic 1960 film The Magnificent Seven in season 1 of this action-packed television series. Learning from each other and forming their own code of ethics, The Magnificent Seven vow to defeat the outlaws of the West and gain the respect of the common folk. The seven men include their embittered leader, a former gun-for-hire seeking redemption; a sharpshooter and bounty hunter; a former slave who becomes a healer; a young and cocky Eastern-bred idealist; a smooth-talking con-artist; a womanizing gunslinger; and a former priest turned eccentric prophet. With each episode, their legend grows through their heroic tales of friendship, loyalty and justice.

We brought you news last week, that Sony/MGM will be releasing The Magnificent Seven - The Complete First Season for DVD on December 6th, 2005. Sony/MGM has sent us the episode details for this upcoming 2-disc set:

Pilot: Seven men unite to save a Seminole Indian village from The Ghosts of the Confederacy, a group of renegade soldiers threatening complete annihilation. The Seven courageously defend the village from the pillaging soldiers in this electrifying series premiere.

One Day Out West: J.D. (Andrew Kavovit) volunteers to serve as a sheriff when a Federal Judge comes to clean up the town, and Judge Travis enlists the Seven to protect it.

Working Girls: The town takes in a group of 'working girls' escaping from their vengeful master.

Safecracker: An ex-safecracker traveling through town is forced to return to her nefarious ways by an adamant ex-partner.

Witness: Mary's (Laurie Holden) young son visits, only to be haunted by his memories of a rogue townsperson. Erza's (Anthony Starke) con-artist mother comes into town.

Nemesis: Chris pursues the man he believes is responsible for the murder of his wife and sons. The rest of the seven try their best to keep Chris from doing something he might regret. A reporter follows the men around to get a story.

The Collector: The Seven get involved when a "collector," Guy Royal, attempts to buy a string of homes: the future home of the railroad. Royal's hired gun has a bone to pick with Chris over an incident many years back. Josiah (Ron Perlman) is excited with his former love, saloon singer Emma comes to town.

Manhunt: Vin takes the lead in a manhunt to catch an escaped prisoner who took a local woman hostage. The girl's father, the local preacher, seeks vengeance.

Inmate 78: Chris is arrested and thrown into a gulag-type prison camp while intervening in the arrest of an innocent man. He's subsequently informed that the sheriff identifies drifters who look like they have money, and arrests them on trumped-up charges until their families pay the bail. Vin, Ezra and the boys search for Chris when he doesn't return.

The Magnificent Seven - The Complete First Season will be presented in Full Screen and will have English audio tracks (Dolby Surround Sound) with subtitles in English and French. The Magnificent Seven - The Complete First Season carries a SRP of $29.95, but you can pre-order it at Amazon for only $20.97.

(Editor's Note: The Amazon listing for The Magnificent Seven has the year 1960 (this show came out in 1998, the movie in 1960). This is the correct pre-order link because it has the correct date December 6th, 2005 and it has Michael Biehn listed as the star, so do not be alarmed if you choose to purchase).
