This series, starring Hugh OBrian, is fondly remembered by many who saw it when it came out as one of the better TV westerns of the era. I was 10 when it first aired, and I remember not being terribly impressed with it. I just saw it now on Tubi for the first time in decades, and I must say I was right the first time.
Sloppily writtern and poorly acted, it looks cheap and seems rushed. The "action" scenes are badly done, and there's no chemistry at all between O'Brian and the rest of the cast, especially the annoying Mason Dinehart as a young and incredibly dumb Bat Masterson. Some good characters actors like Denver Pyle and Hal Baylor can't save it. There wre western series out at the time, such as "Gunsmoke", that were far beter than this. This series was on for seeral years, so maybe it got better as it aged, but I didn't stick around then (or now) to find out.
I would not recommend this.
