Yes, this show is more '60's and early '70's, but it premiered in 1959.
It was notable as one of the earliest programs shot in color from the first, years before the networks ordered all their shows be in color.
Most of the stories were excellent, especially in the early seasons, and the cast was first-rate.
Truth be told, I believe the quality lowered somewhat after Pernell Roberts (Adam Cartwright) left the series.
I did like Candy, but he didn't seem to have much to do on the show.
I never did--and never will--watch the final season, after the death of Dan Blocker (Hoss).
Losing one Cartwright was bad enough, but losing two was just too much, IMHO.
I've read that in the last season, Little Joe married and move into his own home, only for his bride to be killed in a fire set by a jealous former suitor.
Seems that I've seen many programs with that theme during the '60's and '70's.
