I was a pretty young kid when this show was on, but I can remember how much I loved it. I was surfing around on this site and came across Spring Byington's biography and I thought it was she who co-starred in the show as Ann Sheridan's mother, but come to find out, it was Ruth McDevitt. But I did remember the name of the show. I wish it would come out on DVD so I could see the show again. I loved all of the characters on the show. It didn't seem hokey or stupid or sappy to me, it seemed smart and funny, and so did all of the people on the show. Of course, like I said, I was just a kid. I was so sad when Ann Sheridan died and the show ended. I know sometimes if someone leaves a show, whether its a death or a career change, they will replace the person with another actor, but it sure wouldn't have worked in this case, so it was just as well the show ended, although all too early.

With so many old television programs being released on DVD, I'd love to see this one released. Rarely seen since it's original run, it certainly deserves to be released along with a bunch of other one year wonders. Big market for entertaining programs that lasted one year or less like Pistol's & Petticoats. In my opinion, other great programs to be considered for a DVD release would be unique programs like "The Hero", "Camp Runamuck", and the totally off the wall but very funny "Quark". If a network like "Trio" can find success with their "Brilliant but Cancelled" series, there must be some interest in these strange, unique, and sometimes hilarious programs.

I watched this show when I was 16 years old and have never laughed this hard since. I would laugh myself sick when this show was on. I was saddened when it went off the air. It was a lead-in to Gunsmoke and was a family tradition to watch the Saturday (I think) night Westerns. My mother didn't find it as funny but my dad did.

I loved this show about a family of gunslingers that, as in the credit song recalled "Grandma shooting the buttons off a rustler's vest." The show was rather stock 60s TV mind pablum but still enjoyable to sit down and vege out on, laughing at the goofy situations. Not to mention, it was a pleasure to see Robert Lowery, Ruth McDevitt and the immortal Lon Chaney Jr., all vets whose faces you've seen hundreds of times before. And then, there was the beautiful Ann Sheridan who tragically died of cancer, still working up to the last. In some of the last sequences, where she was only in small scenes, she was so weak, she could hardly stand. It was hard to watch but still, it was an inspiration to see this courageous woman.
