The Rifleman



The Rifleman was a western that aired on ABC for 5 seasons (168 episodes) between 1958 and 1963.
Starring Chuck Connors (a former professional baseball and basketball player who spent time with the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs) and Johnny Crawford as his son (a former Disney Mouseketeer whose appearance made him something of a teen idol in the early 60's). The show took place in the 1880's in what is now New Mexico and Arizona.
Now, when you see nearly 60 episodes on a single disc it should set off some red flags for you. The video size of these files is only about half of what they should be, but I checked these out on a 26-inch TV and they looked fine. I wouldn't recommend viewing them on a TV larger than that.
