How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Death Valley Days is the longest-running western anthology, Borax-sponsored Americana hosted by old pros and at least one future president. True-ish frontier tales as a brand. A 2026 viewer watches it for the host-as-pitchman ritual and the trivia that Ronald Reagan once sold 20 Mule Team from the same desk.
