1. he shoulda shot them in the back as they left with his horse.

2. 2:40 OPENING THEME

3. 24:34 CLOSING THEME

4. 16:19 DEE POLLACK

5. 15:46 AL FOSTER

6. 17:36 SAM JAFFE

7. 1:39 ROBERT WILKIE had 2 parts in SPARTACUS a Roman Soldier and a Gladiator I guess UNIVERSAL owed him money

8. 2:20 STING CHORDS

9. sometimes he calls the dog dog and sometimes brown

10. Brown is the star of this show.

11. This was a good episode. Good action and dialogue. Frank Ferguson with a little harder edge to him in this, but he made a fatal mistake. One of the few shows in this era to show blood when someone gets shot.

12. Great western."hand on the gun " my favorite . Why does Dave tell the kid to take his spurs off for the fight . I would think they would be good to spur a guy in a fight .

13. The Winchester with sights….something wrong with open sights…?…You wouldn't travel like that and trust your telescopics

14. No tv show like it.

15. 21st century; rotator cuff tear ends career. 19th century; 45 slug to the shoulder joint, rope and ride the next day?

16. he lets someone take that rifle in every episode

17. Subtitles in english??

18. 1:00 – What a pretty horse!

19. At the end it is the same music as the Rifleman! Jesus Dave's a good shot!

20. Star=studded cast!

21. One of the better The Westerner series. This is classic Peckinpah with lots of action where too many of the others in the series were done for the ladies, like they say. Having Bob Wilke as the lead bad guy helps to make for better entertainment too.

22. extraordinary for the time,i thought I'd see em all,he was genius in NEVADA SMITH

23. Brown got in on the action 170 lbs Lab Mastiff mix kicked but! He was a rescue trained by the same trainer as Lassie Mr Weatherwax!

24. Cant go wrong with Brian Keith

25. A real true western when most other westerns were for kids

26. Peckinpah was in the bottle on this one…man steals your horse, saddle and rifle in a place and time when a man afoot was as likely to die as not, yet when you catch him there is dialog, then a fist fight. Bullshit.

27. Wasn't the old man on Dr. Kildare?

28. Wrong rifle and scope for the times and who in their right mind as a horse thief would ever leave someone alive after they stole their horse in those days when a horse thief was hung? In addition, why didn't they take his pistol before they left him? Really, really a bad shot for the bad man to be using a rifle with a scope at the short range from the cabin to the house and still miss so often.  Makes little sense, but still a fun episode to watch.

29. Bob Wilke….great character actor.
    "You can point that somewhere's else." Keith
    1960 was pushing it for Westerns…….but this one was classic.

30. Greatest television western ever! Way ahead of its time.

31. In this show when the fists fly everything else comes undone, shirt tails, etc. Never saw so many belly's and such during fight scenes compared to other tv shows and movies. This is more realistic. 22:40 sam trying to show a Remington conversion in the hands of the old man.

32. sam used a similar shootout at the climax to ride the high country with scott and mcrea

33. like keiths jacket which was a style not worn in the 19th century.

34. Peckinpah (story creator) himself, couldn't have done it more to his fancy.
