Welcome To The American Old West As Seen From The Prosperous, Little Town Of Medicine Bow, Wyoming
From my perspective - If this TV Western's episodes had been just 45 minutes in length (rather than being a grueling 75 minutes), then, I think that that would've proved to be of much greater appeal to me than this whole series inevitably was.And, with that in mind - Even though "The Virginian" (1962-1971) clearly had above-average production values - I found that (far too often) its episodes contained way too many filler scenes which frequently deteriorated into long-winded soap opera as a means to pad-out the 75-minute running times of its extended episodes.
Anyway - Even with that complaint voiced - I'd say that "The Virginian" did, indeed, feature some very enjoyable moments which were a real credit to its overall entertainment value.
