03/24/2019 This show is a classic and one of the best western tv shows, along with gunsmoke, bonanza, and some others. Every episode is like a movie and the characters are very likable. Many great lines, both humerous and serious. This is a classic western that should be cherished and watched forever and everyone should watch it and appreciate it. Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming are gems. Paul Brinegar (Wishbone) is also super funny and brings lots of laughs to the show. See more Read all reviews
