Snowy River: The McGregor Saga Reviews:
Snowy River Revisited - The Story Continues - Modern Day Bonaza 
2009-08-25 - I repeat what others say that there should be more episodes of this series available. Here you have three episodes that feature Hugh Jackman before his rise through X-Men and Swordfish and Australia.
You have the McGregor clan living where you were left off with the Snowy River movies, children, dad is getting older, though not any less vigorous. Jackman comes back home after years away. He is a friend of the family so, he is not fully tied in with them. You can get caught up pretty fast with the first episode, Comeback, because Jackman is told about the whole McGregor clan and what they are doing.
In The Grand Opening, we have the family pitching in to help someone in their community while facing a trial of their own. In Black Sheep, you will see two stories in one, both very interesting with their own message.
If the rest of the series was like this, it would be interesting to find the whole series available on DVD eventually. Maybe one or another station will air these shows some time creating a market for them. As already mentioned, Guy Pearce (The Time Machine) does not appear in any of the three episodes.
Great action, good story line, morals to the story and morals being mentioned and even taught. TV in the USA needs more like these to give people a choice.
Snowy River: The MacGregor Saga 
2008-05-25 - Not up to the quality of the original "Man from Snowy River". If you are looking for exciting horse races, don't. But I was thoroughly pleased to see that Hugh Jackman has a large part in all 3 episodes.
Shipped quickly and in good condition 
2008-01-02 - The item shipped quickly and was in good condition. Too bad there aren't many more episodes on the disks - only Three doesn't seem like an awful lot. But it was worth the price.
A bit of false advertising 
2007-05-20 - I bought this dvd because I enjoyed the Snowy River movies, and I like Guy Pearce and Hugh Jackman, so I figured, "Why not?"
The DVD consists of 3 episodes of the series set in Australia - The McGregor Saga - which, I gather, was created following the success of the Snowy River movies. Those 3 episodes are "Comeback", "The Grand Opening", and "Black Sheep". While I enjoyed the episodes quite a bit, it was a bit like jumping into the middle of something with little context, because of the nature of it being a TV series and these episodes not being the first. I'd like to see more. But, the thing that really got to me is that Guy Pearce doesn't appear ONCE in any of the three episodes. His character is talked about, but is evidently 'away' for the period of these three episodes. I guess they are trying to capitalize on his more recent success, but I don't care for the misleading tactics. Hugh Jackman, of course, is great as always.
All of that said, I would recommend this to anyone interested in good family viewing (as long as their heart is not set on seeing Guy Pearce). It's like an updated, less corny Bonanza, set in Australia.
Snowy River: Macgregor Saga 
2007-04-01 - The movie was great. It's an Austrailan Western, which features a young
Hugh Jackman. If you are a western or Hugh Jackman lover, this is the perfect movie.
