The Rifleman................

[the ringo kid]

For those who aint buying dvds, yer missing out bud. I just picked up the first half of season 3, and I think its the best season so far as far as stories and such go. In particular, an episode titled: Seven. Of course other episodes were excellent but, this one stands out. I aint giving details but, many great writers on the show including Sam Peckinpah, some great directors as well.

Anyone else currently collecting this show or watching it?

I watch it as time allows, as do my children (8 & 10).

 

[Warren Sear]

One of the greatest TV shows of all time, IMO.

 

[regalsc]

It has lots of budding stars like Michael Landon , Robert Culp, Sammy Davis, Lee Vanclieff, Dennis Hopper & many more.

It plays for several hours on one of the cable channels on Saturday mornings, and by now I've seen every one of them ten times over. Still tune in though.

Like the Daniel Boone series, the first two or three seasons are the best, then they got all preachy.

I watched it regularly on an over the air channel over the winter when I was getting home from work earlier. With my longer workdays of summer to early fall, it will be rare for me to catch the show for awhile.

I remember seeing on, I think, YouTube, someone had stitched together every Rifleman shootout from all episodes. I think Lucas shot several hundred BGs in it, and there was a running body count on the bottom of the screen. I haven't checked to see if it is still there.

It would be interesting to know who had the higher body count, Lucas McCain or Matt Dillon.

Yeah, and that was only the ones he plugged when there was a cameraman there. Oh, and every one o' them summbishes needed it!

Well, according to one report on Google, Dillon had 383; McCain had 120. Dillion played in many more episodes though.

I'm pretty sure they killed some of the same guys on occasion.

Remember when we were kids and we got up to watch Saturday morning cartoons?

I wake up early on Saturdays to watch a few hours of the Rifleman on AMC.

Does that make me a grown up kid?

Don't think that's by choice.I remember watching an episode where he talked about getting shot or something like that.That's why he always grabs the shotgun.

When he was first introduced, his character was a drunk former sheriff and Lucas gives him a job to get his confidence back and face the man who shot him. He then becomes the sheriff.

One thing I've always wondered about these westerns, all these people getting killed by Matt, Lucas, Wyatt, Bat and others.... None of these shows has an undertaker!
