And one of the most resonant scores.
Apparently, Fonda had a hard time shooting the little boy. To his credit.

I watched the first episode of THE LONER today. It's uploaded for free You-Know-Where.
It was a good beginning, I thought. The first thing I noticed was how different it felt from other Western TV shows I've seen from this time period. It just, somehow, seems more real. The acting was good and the writing provided more depth than what I've seen on other shows.
As I watch more, I'll come back and write more.

CBS was displeased with THE LONER's different tone -- they'd expected more shooting and chasing and saving people.
Seriously, that's what they said.

I don't doubt it. I imagine it wasn't what the network wanted in terms of a Western TV show.CBS was displeased with THE LONER's different tone -- they'd expected more shooting and chasing and saving people.

I watched the second and third episodes of THE LONER today while on my lunch break.
The second episode, "The Vespers", sees Colton meeting up with a man that saved his life during the Civil War. The man (Jack Lord) is now a minister, but he's being hunted by a gang for killing their brothers. The recently-converted minister initially refuses to defend himself in any physical way, so Colton prepares to return the favor of saving his life.
The third episode, "The Lonely Calico Queen", was actually quite sad. Colton witnesses the death of a man by a bounty hunter. He notices the man was carrying a letter to a woman, so he decides to take it to her. Upon arrival, the young saloon hall girl thinks Colton is her pen pal, a man she's never met. When she learns of his fate, she decides to revert to a life in the saloons, basically parading herself for drunken men.
They were two more good episodes.
