In the 1980s and 1990s, fans requested The Gene Autry Show return to the small screen, and finally, in 2000, their wish was granted. Gene Autry Entertainment hired RPG Productions, Inc., the same fine folks who restore Gene’s feature films, for the job. Like the movies, the television episodes were restored from their original 35mm and 16mm film elements from the Autry Film Vault. In addition, each episode was closed-captioned. The restoration of all 91 episodes, 15 of which are in color, was made possible in part through the financial assistance of the Westerns Channel, part of the Starz Encore Group. The Autry Museum’s Research and Collection departments were also an essential part of the restoration process by providing scripts, production documents, and photographs.

Today, over 50 years later, Gene Autry is riding the satellites with all episodes of The Gene Autry Show, fully restored and uncut, airing on the Westerns Channel. Thanks to digital technology, several episodes of The Gene Autry Show can also be yours to own and enjoy in the comfort of your living room on VHS and DVD. Plans are underway to release every episode by season on DVD before Gene Autry’s Centennial in 2007. Best of all, detailed pages for each episode—containing a story synopsis, cast, crew, and song lists, and original press releases—are posted here on the Official Gene Autry website. |
