Nothing less than brilliant..., 28 June 2001
Author: Jack Austin Crawford from Burnet, Texas (USA)

This show was nothing less than brilliant. I saw it when it was first out, when I was in my last year of high school. I knew it was too good to be true then, and, sure enough, I was right.

It is to westerns on television what Fawlty Towers was to comedy. Yes, it was that good...
