I've only seen random episodes sprinkled throughout the series, whatever we could catch on cable TV at our grandparents' in the '90s, plus part of season 1, which I have on DVD. Artie is just wonderful -- I love it whenever one of his disguises fools me for a minute or two. So good!<br /><br />My brother and I were Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-29844984385420511262020-08-21T09:40:03.940-04:002020-08-21T09:40:03.940-04:00Wild Wild West was one of my dad's favorite tv...Wild Wild West was one of my dad's favorite tv shows, so in the last few months I've been watching it with him a lot. I'm so glad to find someone else who likes it! I love Artie, and the biggest disappointment with the fourth season is that he isn't in a lot of episodes because Ross Martin was having health issues.Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-48628330201046780562019-06-04T08:41:23.713-04:002019-06-04T08:41:23.713-04:00Powers, thanks for stopping by!

I find Neville Brand really interesting, so I'd like to see more of <i>Laredo</i> at some point.<br /><br />You're right, the location shoots did make <i>High Chaparral</i> seem fresh and different! I really like the theme song, too.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-82872480132671052332019-06-03T14:51:54.478-04:002019-06-03T14:51:54.478-04:00My top fave TV westerns are Laredo(1965~'66),a...My top fave TV westerns are Laredo(1965~'66),and The High Chaparral(1967~'71).<br /><br />Laredo was about the rollicking adventures of 4 Texas Rangers out of B Company,Laredo,TX.<br />The show stood out from most westerns as it had as much humor as it did action.<br />The cast had terrific chemistry together.Neville Brand stood out as the bellowing fog horned voice Reese Bennett.<br />powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462146268479327244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-3681563316044207032016-08-09T12:32:15.402-04:002016-08-09T12:32:15.402-04:00Thank you, Annie!

Other shows are awesome too, but those three are just <b>so good</b>.<br /><br />And yeah, the Levy-Gardner-Laven productions who were responsible for those two made some amazing things, didn't they?Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-33771634031663390792016-08-04T16:20:52.536-04:002016-08-04T16:20:52.536-04:00I've watched 6 of these shows regularly (#'...I've watched 6 of these shows regularly (#'s 1-6 actually), and must say you have good taste. I personally have to say that The Rifleman and Big Valley are about the best you can get in a TV show. And, not surprisingly, they both were made by the same group of WWII buddies.

They had cable (we didn't), and we spent a month with them every summer. My dad and I would wake up early on Saturday (like 6am, so not crazy early) and watch cowboy shows together allllllll morning.
