How the West Was Fun
22 May 2014
Hard to believe there are a couple of reviews rubbishing this series, but then, not everyone has a sense of humour I guess? This show was pure class, in the slapstick comedy genre, and had one of the great all time ensemble casts ever! One of the most difficult styles of comedy to do, is that of the 'innocent bumbler' Ken Berry was brilliant at it, right up there with Fred MacMurray and Robert Cummings, who were also masters of this style! Forrest Tucker, a seasoned performer in westerns, displayed a great flair for comedy, and Larry Storch had a style all his own, and yes, he was funny! Melody Patterson, only 16 when the series started, was a mature, for her age, gorgeous blonde, who played the tom boy part of 'Wrangler Jane' to perfection! Frank DeKova, an Italian who played 'Chief Wild Eagle' was hilarious! It was pure fun, with great writers, and the only tragic thing about it, was that it was cancelled after only 2 seasons! But those 65 episodes will remain little gems for all time or, as long as technology allows!
