That's the way I remember this mini-series anyway, although it's been ages, and it was never rerun, was it?
Sam Elliott was the star. Cliff Potts was the villain. Darleen Carr was the one everyone had a crush on.
I stumbled on this title in the database by accident. What are the chances of seeing it again, I wonder? About as good as assembling a cast this well-rounded again, I reckon.
