    Storyline

    • Trivia
      U.S. television's first ninety-minute western (including commercials).
    • Goofs
      John Grainger is introduced in season five as Elizabeth Grainger's grandfather. When John dies and Clay Grainger inherits Shiloh Ranch, he is identified as John Grainger's brother and, presumably, Elizabeth's granduncle. But by the time of a season seven episode, "Girl in the Shadows", the story has changed and Clay is the elder brother of Elizabeth's father which would make him John Grainger's son, not brother.

    Good series
    Good series, it's sad it's been kinda forgotten. It's easy to write it off as another 'Bonanza' knockoff-Big Valley, High Chapperell, for example, but it wasn't that, not at all. In one episode, you get to see Lee J Cobb, Richard Anderson, Harry Morgan, Arthur Hunnicutt and a host of other Very familiar character actors doing the 'Stagecoach' routine-while McClure, Drury and co weren't exactly chopped liver either.

    It had heart, it was well acted and was on forever. I would watch this over Bonanza any day.

    FAQ2

    • Why was there so much turnover in the families that owned Shiloh? In particular, why did Lee Cobb leave the show? He was great.
    • Why was one character called "Trampas" ("Cheats", in Spanish) since he was White?
