The High Chaparral

[Tommy Tainant]

This is showing on UK tv at the moment. Its pretty much the best of the tv westerns on offer. I like Rawhide and Wagon Train but the Chaparral os a step ip on those.
Alongside it they show something called Tombstone Territory. Its absolute shit. Poor scripts and acting.
Sometimes the chaparral os a bit clunky but generally it hits the mark.
Maybe the Virginian is on the same level but I havent seen it for 30 years.

The first western to showcase heavy breathing.

But I enjoyed it more than most. F Troop was better...

In the novel the protagonist is just a shooter for a crooked judge.

YMMV

Melody Patterson aka Wrangler Jane lied about her age to get on the show. Good for her.

Geeeze, Commie Tommie....give Tombstone Territory a break, that
series was in televisions infancy. They had to jam a lot in a half hour program.

Look at an old episode of Mr Ed. When I did so recently I couldn't believe the amount of 'empty' screen time. It was like it was running at half speed.

Blame that on the writers and weak subject matter.
They should have had Mr. Ed juggling bowling pins during the dead time.

F Troop was a riot. And it included the infamous Hekawi Indians!

I liked Ed. A real smartass he was, but Wilber`s mistake was giving him access to a telephone.

It looks rushed. It gets paired with Wanted dead or Alive. The differeence in quality is clear.The latter isnt m,uch more well funded but Mqueen raises itbove the norm.

Bonanza was on ITV and our tv couldnt get that. Hard to believe that we only had one channel in those days.

The Big Valley and Virginian were good as was Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke dealt with social issues at the time. High Chaparral is okay.

You can find a lot of these shows streaming on Plex, Pluto and Tubi. I think Plex has it on their network but I’d have to look it up. These are all free with internet access.

Im just watching it now. The real weakness is when they hire american actors to do roles that need an Irish or Scottish accent.
They are awful.

Why don't you complain that the cowboys didn't have shoe strings?

Is that a problem ? Why are you trolling a thread about a TV show ? Tou know that you have the option to ignore it. ?
