This one drips with nostalgia in the best of ways. First we get Linda Thorson who survived one of the least enviable gigs in TV history - filling Diana Rigg's gogo boots while replacing her iconic Emma Peel in The Avengers series. Then Rob Stewart, who already sounded like Bruce Campbell - especially when cracking wise - evoked memories of his early, underappreciated western series, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., furthering their resemblance by also shooting from the left hip.
But what propels this one to the top is Clint Walker's penultimate turn before the cameras as a fictional version of his legendary self. The man who helped define cowboy heroes, mainly as Cheyenne Bodie in his eponymous series in the 1950s - '60s, shines in this role of an elderly oater star writing and performing his own last ride into the sunset. Outstanding for Walker and this series.
