A truly great show. Our generation was watching this in our formative years. The purple haired, what gender am I, socialism sounds great, twits of today were raised on the most God awful trash the perverts in Hollywierd could dream up. The “rural purge” of wholesome television in the early 70s replaced shows like this with ones that had a “social message” like All in the Family and Maude. The purge of shows that celebrated America was a major blow in the now completed destruction of our culture. Thank goodness for Me TV.
“Thank goodness for Me TV.”
And I would add thank goodness for INSP, where they have Gunsmoke episodes all week long.
I’m a big fan of some of those old TV westerns.
The Rifleman and Gunsmoke were my two favorites. And I would put Gunsmoke at #1 best western tv show of all time and The Rifleman at #2.
At a distant #3, in my opinion, was Maverick, but only the episodes with James Garner.
