Interesting interview with Johnny Crawford on the casting and the show. I see it now on a "memorable" tv channel. Loved the show as a kid, Jonny and I are the same age. Great TV. Wonderful tribute to the role and the man.
The Rifleman was the greatest TV western ever, as lekocafe has already said.
I loved it when I was a kid, Lucas McCain was my hero, and Mark was the son I wanted to be. I even had a Rifleman gun, and it was my pride and joy.
After being off the air for for 48 years (I can't believe it's been that long), they're finally starting to show reruns. Hooray! I remembered the theme song completely, and enjoy the show now as much as I did when I was 8-13!
I am now 62 years old and have recently been reflecting on how my values were shaped at a very young age by the tv shows I watched regularly as a young boy. The Rifleman probably stands above the other shows because of the tremendous relationship it depicted between Luke McCain and his son Mark.
I think the culture has lost a lot by abandoning the dramatic embodiment of those values that made this the greatest nation on earth.
We may not see these great shows of the past on tv anymore. All I can say is I'm glad that some of them are available on dvd. That way you can watch them anytime, and you don't have to wait for a certain day and time.
I still watch The Rifleman everyday on cable. I did some research on Chuck Connors and didn't know that he died almost 20 years ago. He really was a hero and a great man in real life. Great tribute!!
Boy, did that tug at my heart! I watched that as a kid, as well as "Gunsmoke","Wanted Dead or Alive", "Have Gun, Will Travel", "Bonanza", etc. I miss those days too! I also loved Davey Crockett! :)
Excellent family show with wonderful actors & great plots; I remember being riveted to the floor in front of the TV & just holding my breath in anticipation of what was to happen next. It is a shame the disservice that the movie industry has fallen into today following the paths of the spirit of the world & preaching immoral ways of living through the False Media. Another wonderful show was Gun Smoke!
