As long as people watch westerns and enjoy them they will watch this wonderful team of actors. Each generation has to learn life values again and again. The Virginian provides that tool.
Well said, my friend! ❤
Those of us who grew up with it will never forget. It's part of us.
Very True @declanrobert!!!!😃
Yea, it does stay. Best of its time !!!
Tearful too watch but so beautiful of ones that have sadly gone now, but will always remember what a beautiful show this was and thankfully we still can watch them on TV. 😢🙏🇺🇸💕
They were blessed to have a wonderful cast.
All so BITTERSWEET!
I do not know weather to smile for the fond memories, or to cry because I do so miss this place that lives on in my heart. 💘💔
Heidi Ramey I smiled & cried all at the same time, throughout the entire video! Best tribute ever!
Thank you! I’m glad y’all liked it!
James Drury, what a gorgeous man. Such a fine tribute, as if i was a teenager again among old friends. RIP to all those fine actors & actresses who are no longer with us.
Many aren't, but many still are! And Love to them all!
Yes, i do remember, each day as I watch the reruns on Direct TV, it is like visiting old friends. They, like family, live on in my memories and bring me a sense of comfort and peace.
I watch the reruns too!! I love it!!
So very beautiful! I cried all the way through this! I miss James Drury & Doug McClure so very much! Thank you for such a wonderful tribute! The name of the Virginian, can only be James Drury!!!
Thank you! You’re welcome ❤️
LOVED HIM!!!!!
I also cried catscompany as it was very moving!
The One and Only James Drury/The Virginian....
Most of these fine actors and actresses are gone now, but good heavens, they gave us all a wonderful show.
Of all the sixties westerns i watched on dvds,THE VIRGINIAN is my favorite.I saw all the 249 épisodes.I can't beleive how good season 3 was.So much to admire:the scripts;the way THE VIRGINIAN and TRAMPAS completed each other etc.So sad it had to end the way it did.After season 5,it was never as good.In the last season when the name of the serie was changed,THE VIRGINIAN and TRAMPAS were almost embarassed to deliver their lines.Still,the good memories remain.
I’m like you...I feel the same way you do about the Men from Shiloh! It was not as great as the original series! I grew up as a fan of James Drury, when I first discovered him, at my school, in the movie, “Toby Tyler, Ten Weeks in the Circus”! I went to a Catholic school & the First Friday of every month, there was a PTA meeting & all the nuns/teaches were at those meetings, & they were in the cafeteria, so as a result, the students got served lunch in the class room, with, what they called, “A Lay” person to supervise, then we paid 10 cents to see a Mission Movie, because all of our dimes went to some Mission! We had no idea of where it went! Any way....my first look at James Drury was in that Toby Tyler movie! Then my older brother & his girlfriend took me to my first Drive-In movie to see, “Ride the High Country”! I was 8 years old then & I loved that movie! I also became a fan of Sam Peckenpaw that night as well! I was hooked on James ever since & I still am! I also first noticed Doug McClure in “Gidget” in 1959! WOW! Those two men were not only gorgeous but so very talented! They are truly missed but they live on in their movies & TV shows! TV is not the same any more! I grew up on the TV Westerns! I was about 3 or 4 years old when my dad & I watched every western that was on! I would sit on his lap & he would explain everything that was going on in each & every Western! It was such fun! I wish more of those old Westerns were on TV! They seem to only offer a few, there were so many & I would love to see them as well! But the Virginian was & always will be my favorite! I also thought some of the “life” was taken out of the Virginian when Gary Clark & Clu Gulager! You brought back a lot of memories for me in your comment! Thank you!
@@catscompany735 You sweetly and thoroughly conveyed how memorable the memories are of when and with whom you first saw these stars and programs and then the great feeling and attraction for the talent and the titles they were in. You mentioned Doug in "Gidget." About 10 years ago Mitzi Gaynor introduced a "South Pacific" (1958) special screening in L.A. (at the Crest Theatre) and among her dozens of recollections she told, " . . . And, yes, that IS Doug McClure in the hospital."
Re James Drury, about 5 years ago at the Autry Museum (also L.A.) guest panelist Mariette Hartley, the coquettish girl getting the Virginian's attention in the pivotal 'how'd the Virginian get to Medicine Bow?' yr. 2 ep., 'The Drifter,' said Jim scared the 'bee-geezus' out of her when they and film company were isolated way up in the High Sierra location where he brilliantly played her brutal, mean-as-all-get-out, uncouth, rugged mountain man fiance who's forced upon her that she follow through to be his wife in "Ride the High Country" -- and shockingly nearly raped by his three or four male kin on their wedding night. Not a redeeming bone in his body. -- 'cause he was SO scary and brutal. Apparently, he kept in character to give it his all, i.e., his performance. Then it was refreshingly all nice, behind the scenes on "The Virginian" two years after. (BTW, it's Sam Peckinpah, the director, not Sam Peckenpaw)
You are indeed fortunate to be old enough to have seen these first run. IMO. Two subsequent generations of viewers are picking up interest in and fandom for "The Virginian" (ed. - we'll all agree: "excellent taste"), but there's just that one element missing -- nostalgia triggers for "I was there when . . . " and alive when all these beloved performers were alive.
Final replies to Alain Robert and Cats&Company: I admire C&C's dedication to see all 249 episodes on DVD. Dedication like that makes one qualified to specify a specific season as being the best; in this case, no. 3. Now, the great thing about "Emily Sullivan's" work here, The Virginian Gang / Please Remember, and all opportunities this century we have to see these episodes -- uncut and in their true, original 4x3 aspect ratio, ideally -- is everything is in color; NBC-peacock-beautiful color.
A significant number of people today don't recall or aren't aware that not even 50% of homes had color TV during much of the run for "The Virginian," '62 - 71. In 1962 most shows were still filmed in b&w. "The Virginian" was a trend setter not only for being an hour and a half, but one of the first NBC dramas telecast in color. Even after all three networks -- ABC, CBS, NBC -- switched to color, around 1966, it was a gradual b&w to color adjustment for the tens of millions of American households. That's just the way Americans accepted their TV half a century ago. A pity, 'cause SO MUCH was missed, seeing it in monochrome.
. . . My favorite season is 5. Jim and Doug were thoroughly established in their roles -- fit them like a glove -- and the writers knew how to write for them. With the Graingers' arrival, the dynamic of the brother and sister living with their granddad in the ranch house was a step above the judge and adopted daughter Betsy. For me, the trio added an extra element, another dimension. Crying over spilled milk: IF ONLY Charles Bickford had 'held on' (God bless him) for another year, Don Quine might have been compelled to stick it out as Stacey. As Sara Lane so candidly and refreshingly recalls in Paul Green's "Virginian" book, it was sad because of the different dynamic she experienced and that viewers noticed with Clay and Holly. Elizabeth was no longer the lady of the house.
Additionally, aware that behind the scenes Lee J. Cobb was essentially from Day 1 unhappy -- in contrast to those portraying the Graingers initially were quite content. . . . BTW, this has been addressed before on TH-cam threads related to "The Virginian" by observant viewers, but never answered to satisfaction. John is Clay Grainger's brother; and grandfather to Stacey and Elizabeth (or 'Libby' as Charles Bickford lovingly addressed her). So why is 'Uncle Clay' assumed to be the Grainger children's true uncle and not their great uncle? Obviously it's a bit cumbersome to address a relative as 'Great Uncle Clay' over and over and over, when 'Uncle Clay' sounds more, well, normal. But in expository dialogue Clay is specified as the children's uncle.
Out of numerous assumptions and suggestions, one could be -- vanity. Charles Bickford had no qualms about playing two generations removed from a young adult and older teen. Yet John McIntire perhaps told his agent or the producers that he thought he still looked young enough that he could pull off playing Stacey's and Elizabeth's uncle, i.e., just one generation removed. "Crazy, huh?"
Darn if this reply isn't longer than the two Comments. Hmm - I must be a fan.
In closing, "thank you, 'Emily Sullivan.'" The Virginian Gang / Please Remember is quite a treat AND a forever tribute to those actors and actresses who brought these characters to life, to shine.
I remember jim when I met him saying that the audience public would switch on the TV and find that the show The Virginian was nowhere to b seen of course they changed the title and the costume s and brought in Stewart Granger hoping to boost it on further Jim said he would have stayed going for another 10 years but it wasn't to b all good things have to come to an end I guess it had run its course still was one of the best Western series made that last to this day and beyond ❤❤
As Jim would say you have to show the triumph of good over evil and if theirs a wrong you try to put it right otherwise you become part of it what a different world we have today ❤❤❤🎉
Every character on the show was unique and contributed to making the show so great. I think that The Virginian remains the best Western on t.v.
*Of all the male and female adult actors that held a significant role on "The Virginian" I recognized only one that was still alive as of March 2022: "Deputy Sheriff Emmett (Clu Gulager) Ryker". He turns 94 years old this year."*
Indeed will make u cry . So sad to say goodbye to all these wonderful people .🙏
Thanks so much for this wonderful tribute. The Virginian was, is and always will be my favorite TV series. I just LOVE this tribute.Watching an episode of The Virginian always makes me happy! Thank God I`ve got seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 on DVD! RIP to all those wonderful actors/actresses who are no longer among us! Thanks again!
The Virginian - one of the best tv westerns ever! I never tire of watching the episodes, the comradery was so apparent.
"To Shiloh" -- well done!
Thank you!
Old tradicional western as don’t do anymore. With principles, friendship, fidelity and famíly. Miss you Mr. Drury. Old times that don’t come back anymore. I used to Watch it with my father. 😢😢😢
We will always remember. One of my "happy places" is when I'm watching.
Fine tribute to those who have left this world and are reunited in another world - together again. They are all missed.
Emily, you do such a good job with these videos. Thank you so much. Hope you can do one more using George Straits' This is where the cowboy rides away to honor the passing of James Drury. You leave us with so many raw emotions with your videos.
That would be a perfect way to honor James Drury
Thank you so much for this. I cried like a baby all the way thru. I was born in '71, but this has become my fav show & James Drury my favorite actor in the past few yrs. I won't forget them, I promise!!!
One of my favourite TV Westerns. Will never forget the amazing cast. Thanks for the video.
Not likely to forget one of the greatest TV western series ever. Great actors and great storylines.
I loved the song, it fit so well. Great scenes and good moments, only there wasn't enough shots of our Boss man James Drury.
LOVED HIM!!!!!
I will always remember they were my favorite western.
Drury was so handsome. Love the show and miss it. All the cast was great.
I will never forget. Life is to short. Miss them but thank God for Inspiration still airing the Virginian.
I do remember. James Drury was my first crush. I still watch this show every day. The cast was wonderful. Even when the characters changed, the show never failed.
I remember as a little kid when this show started, I wanted to go to Medicine Bow and to Shiloh. It was my favorite place.
I still have a crush on Clu Gulager!!
A girl in my Jr High school in the 1960's also had a crush on Clu.
Great show, western or otherwise. Intelligent scripts some way before their time. Great, great actors/ characters, especially those who played John and Clay Grainger, Belen, Harper, Stace Emmit Ryker the unlimited cast of other great character actors and last but not least Trampas and the Ramrod. Two guys you'd like to have on your side in a tight spot. Seems old fashioned now but they came across as genuine good guys, tough as nails, honest, loyal and a code of ethics. The whole show brings back great memories from my childhood.
To Good People and a great show, thank you!
Emily Sullivan this is beautiful!! It made me cry, naturally. I remember all these scenes!!
Thank you very much!
I sure miss thim they were very great people and actors and actresses
I sure miss thim they were very great people and actors and actresses
Loved This Series, Those Characters Were Part Of Our Lives. Grew Up Watching The Virginian.
love this show! All the people on it as well. Peace be with you all. Hope to see you all soon as my time nears. cheers.
How can I forget my favorite handsome cowboys. The ladies of Shiloh were also beautiful.
More accurately, The ladies of Shiloh were pretty. Beautiful is exemplified by a young Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly Ledy Lamarr or Ava Gardner, Lana Turner -- film legends known for their beauty as much as their talents. Shiloh females Roberta Shore, Sara Lane, Diane Roter and senior citizen Jeannette Nolan and their professional make-up artists at Universal Studios would concur.
Loved this series so much I bought every season. still watch it.
We can all raise our glasses to Shiloh, and to Emily! Well done!
Thank you!
Love that shot of Joe D and Buck running at top speed!! 🥰
A very moving collection of characters and scenes, well done again Emily, loved it
Thank you! I’m glad!
Love this show. Please kèep it on the air. The actors have become part of my life
Simply Beautiful!!!!!!! 🥰 I will always "Remember".......
Clearly created by another Great Fan of The Virginian! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
This is truly my favorite show!
When he pass away, it was like losing a family member, but, i watch the Virginian every day.
This show was more than a great Western show. It was very likely one of the very best TV shows ever made. The number of excellent actors and actresses who were either guest stars or part of the regular weekly cast is remarkable. The quality of the stories and writing was consistently high. If you don't have this show in your Video library then you should consider making it a part of it,.... because its that damn good.
I love that remarkable man. So handsome, intelligent and smart. Missing you James Drury and always will. I'll never forget!
And when "The Virginian" originally aired on NBC Wednesday night in the 1960s millions of men appreciated and were attracted to the feminine charms of the females at Shiloh, Sara Lane, Roberta Shore and Diane Roter.
Jim Was Great To me Even Though I was Just A Extra Looking For A Break ....
Ich habe diese Serie geliebt.Liebe sie heute noch.Es ist eine schöne Erinnerung an meine Jugendzeit. ❤❤❤❤🇩🇪🇩🇪
I am still missing since so many years, I saw this first time. I love the characters of the seasons with Lee C. Cobb as Rancher Garth. Specially James Drury.😢 R.I.P. James.
Also the Rancher Couple, after Garth. Clu Gulager as Sheriff Ryker was the best Sheriff in this seasons.
This was, as always, wonderful! As usual, I had some tears.
Thank you, Emily. Beautiful memories.
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Had the great chance to meet James Drury in 2011 and 2013 at Memphis film festival and he was very nice
The Whole Cast Will Always Be Remembered Through Our Memorries .............
Does Anybody When Jim's Funeral Is ? I Know We Can't Travel But Would Be Nice To Know ...
NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN,REST IN PEACE AT SHILOH EVERYONE.
We remember them all very warmly. 🙏❤
They don't make them like that anymore...this was a great show! I get the sense that those times in America were the same when this originally aired. Luckily I can still watch it on tv everyday when I can!
Such a nice tribute! Thank you for making it and sharing it with us.
Wonderful memories, thank you
You’re welcome
Beautiful tribute.
James Drury war ein unglaublich charismatischer Mensch.Ich habe ihn verehrt!! Schade das er gehen mußte.Ich kann leider nur auf Deutsch schreiben.
OMG I’m going to cry! Miss them all so much…especially The Virginian (James Drury)!!!
That was a good gang, yes
Wonderful compilation for any fans accompanied by some heart stirring lyrics. Thanks for posting.
Thank you old friends never to be forgotten Debra Jane Lerner
A great tribute, we will NEVER forget them.
Que épocas el gran chaparral.bonanza.el Virginiano y el gran valle.gracias desde Colombia.
Thank you!
I agree, this was one of the best TV shows ever made, good stories, fine acting, and more.
Such a beautiful song..
God bless James Drury. Although the Virginian went off the air a year before I was born, it is my favorite Television show of all times. I feel like I know the main characters personaly and catch myself wondering "whats going on at Shiloh or in Medicine Bow.Thank you
I love, love, love this show!
How in the world could I not remember.
You do such amazing videos. Every single one is wonderful. Always such a perfect marriage of song and clips. You have impressive skill.
Thank you so much!
Most of the older cast are gone , David Hartman is still alive and the younger generation is still hear with us except the one that played Elizabeth she passed March 23, 2023. RIP too all that had passed away .😢🙏
I still enjoy watching the episodes. The main characters realistically were good. I miss them all. There were some technicals errors in the opening scene where you can clearly see the tire tracks when Virginian was riding his horse. The same locations were shown in various times at different episodes. Despite all that the Virginian created a believable story and show. Most main characters and stars are gone but they are not forgotten. ❤
Love the VIRGINIAN
So many good actors.
Best seasons -1 to 3.Before Roberta Shore left, and Gallager was Sheriff.Full episodes of these 3 seasons hard to find.
I have all 8 seasons on DISH. Maybe that will help you.
Always felt that a little bit of the heart of "The Virginian" left with Betsy (Roberta Shore) after Season 3. She had a noticeable "Kid Sister" effect on all the guys in the cast. The shows were still superbly written and produced after "Betsy" left, but I really missed her sweet influence on the male cast.
@@63DW89A Excellent, personal observation. "She [Shore] had a noticeable "Kid Sister" effect on all the guys in the cast", Two of those guys, Gary Clarke and Randy Boone -- closer in age than James Drury and Doug McClure -- definitely enhanced that feeling, that observation of Shore being a kid sister. . . . While Shore left / quit, those two fellows 'got the boot'.
With Roberta Shore's (too-soon) departure Lee J. Cobb was soon to follow. That key cast / Shiloh vacancy eventually allowed new owners played by Charles Bickford and later, John McIntire (scripted as Bickford's brother), one or both whom some prefer to Lee J. Cobb.
Sara Lane debuted in season five as a real 'kid sister' -- to Don Quine, fellow new castmate. She still received, if not the 'kid sister' reaction from James Drury, Doug McClure and L.Q. Jones ('Belden), she was definitely 'hands off!' Those three affectionately had a protective arm around her shoulder if need be when her granddad or brother weren't around..I liked the way she responded to Charles Bickford, the grandfather, who affectionately called her 'Libby', sometimes, instead of the scripted 'Elizabeth.'
. . . from a fellow fan of "The Virginian". . . . As viewers of this montage we are the beneficiaries of presenter Emily Sullivan's talent as editor, she's clearly a fan.
I remember
Lovely tribute to a great show! ❤
I loved the Virginian. The friendship between James Drury and Doug McClure shined in every episode. Tane McClure, at age five, was the spitting image of her father. Those are not bad genes to inherit.
well done !
Thank you
I sure will remember 🙏❤️💎
Please if u will readjust the video so it's Not all stretched out! Thanks so much work in it.
GREAT...I HAVE THE FIRST SIX SEASONS
Quite the scholar and fan on all things “The Virginian” I offer what I hope our presenter, ‘Emily Sullivan,’ and TH-cam visitors find helpful and enriching.
0:08 - 0:11 The iconic Shiloh establishing shot. Nice; with a phony tree branch with leaves on top right to offer perspective, some depth. . . . We spot the same two riding away from the camera; solo rider approaching them. It NEVER changes. All Revue / Universal had to do was run about 50 more feet of 35 mm film through the Mitchell camera with a couple variations. So they don’t appear so careless and cheap. Once a week, Wednesday, on NBC, back in the ‘60s the repetition of this solo shot wasn’t quite so noticeable. But with the 21st Century variety of ways to see “The Virginian” multiple times at will, it becomes painfully obvious.
0:11 0:14 The Virginian wearing black gloves, a wardrobe accessory, black anyway, diminished in subsequent years.
0:14 - 0:16 Betsy with candle-covered b’day cake walking past wall calendar, 1898. Sensing trouble right away when new producers were on board, about 10 eps. later viewers noticed the time frame reverted to 1888, storywise a more traditional, workable era for film and TV westerns.
0:17 - 0:20 Steve and Trampas, compadres.
0:21 -- 0:25 & 3:43 Mark and Ryker, Medicine Bow’s dutiful, official peace keepers; friends to all at Shiloh.
0:25 - 0:29 Betsy and father, Judge Garth; she has the sweetest, purest way of vocalizing “Daddy.”
0:31 - 0:33 An overjoyed John Grainger at his office desk in front of rifle filled gun-rack that magically disappeared in ‘The Modoc Kid’ episode where hold-up men John Saxon and Harrison Ford take over and terrorize Shiloh.
0:37 - 0:38 John’s grandson Stacey, earnestly played by Don Quine -- and his megawatt smile. Though watch out, ladies; Don does a 180 two seasons later guest starring as a baddie, a vicious baddie, on “Lancer” where he manhandles virginal 17-year old Teresa (Elizabeth Baur) with intent to rape.
0:44 - 0:50 Trampas and David ride. “Thanks, Trampas; nice riding with you. Say, how come the Virginian never rides or does practically anything with me? What’s with that?”
0:50 - 0:53 Shiloh’s in-betweeners, Morgan Starr and Jennifer Garth, second half of season four -- post Judge Garth and Betsy, pre the Graingers.
0:;57 - 0:58 Betsy and Randy -- or, entertainers Betsy & Randy, the singing duo. Here performing at Shiloh. Same clip used in a later episode where supposedly they’re the music act at an event at the Grand Teton Hotel -- and their only appearance in the episode. ?Cost-cutting move? ?Time crunch? ?Padding? ?Talent unavailability? Hmmm.
0:58 - 1:00 & 4:05 - 4:07 The Grainger siblings, Elizabeth and Stacey, the latter who good-naturedly bounces his sister’s / hair & make-up department’s hair piece. Critique: In 0:58 - 1:00 Fetching Elizabeth’s wardrobe is much too contemporary, giving the impression Sara Lane was running late to work and showed up at Shiloh, bypassing wardrobe. Stacey’s gun rig would look better brown, not black.
Okay, one-minute mark.
1:18 - 1:21 The hands, Jim, Trampas, Harper.
1:32 - 1:35 Jim and Harper.
1:48 - 1:51 Season 8’s extended sideburns for the Virginian and Trampas and Trampas’s longer, bushy, unkempt hair. For lots of viewers that took effort getting used to.
1:54 - 1:57 New arrival in fourth season: Judge Garth’s niece, Jennifer, replaces adopted daughter Betsy, who got married and left, as the lone female presence.
2:35 - 2:38 Trampas and alter ego Doug McClure’s four-year old daughter Tane teaming up for kitchen chores in year one’s ‘The Small Parade.’ (I learned that tidbit from devouring Paul Green’s book on the show.)
2:39 - 2:41 A sad one -- Harper leading the men past their familiar home, the bunkhouse, when circumstances force Clay to dismiss them as Shiloh hands.
2:41 - 2:43 Two early short-timers: Steve, two seasons - 1 & 2; Molly, six episodes first half of year one when she and 1898 era were jettisoned.
2:55 - 2:58 A personal favorite -- the Virginian, Trampas and John Grainger’s successors, brother Clay and his wife Holly (alter egos, John McIntire and Jeanette Nolan also Mr. and Mrs.) with Elizabeth. There’s an oft-used, wonderful publicity photo shot at this set-up / location. It’s less formal than a (sometimes) ‘stiff’ gallery portrait, yet better than many of the ‘episodic’-style group shots.
2:58 - 3:07 A recurring theme: friend helping friend. Back-to-back, the Virginian helping Trampas, then Trampas seeing the Virginian through a rough time.
Moving along, three-minute mark.
3:10 - 3:13 Ah, Joanna Moore, Tatum O’Neal’s mom, appearing joyful and luminous in her 3rd of 4 guest appearances, ‘A Father for Toby,’ Toby being young Kurt Russell (to r. of guitar-playing Randy’s knee). Here Moore is the gleam in lucky Trampas’s eye -- two seasons after being the gleam in Andy’s eye when she played Peg in four episodes of “The Andy Griffith Show;’ Peg being the most fetching of Andy Taylor’s intermittent leading ladies. IMO.
3:13 - 3:15 The best granddad and granddaughter shot. John and Elizabeth in front of the house, in bright California sunshine with a slight breeze. Superb view of the two. I’m skeptical if there’s a comparable shot, as nice of Clay and Elizabeth.
3:34 - 3:35 That killer smile of handsome, good-natured Trampas’s.
3:36 - 3:38 A key moment in the life of the series: the new overseers, the Graingers, arrive at Shiloh, approaching that oh-so-familiar front steps. Belden and the Virginian serving as porters for John, Stacey and Elizabeth having just delivered them from town.
3:41 - 3:43 Elizabeth’s, the Virginian’s, Trampas’s and off-camera David’s prayers are answered: Elizabeth recovers use of her eyes in ‘Vision of Blindness’ (a personal favorite). A milestone episode where Elizabeth falls in love, first time, with John Saxon which results in a shocking exchange with the Virginian wherein she tells him to butt out of her business ‘cause she’s now 18. Gorgeous distant locations at Los Padres Nat’l Forest enhance story.
3:49 - 3:50 (& 3:37 - 3:39 & 0:42 - 0:45) Clay hugs Holly, a warm, not infrequent sight. Critique: Hair and make-up dept. should have found and applied a more realistic looking hair piece for John McIntire, color, length, style.
3:51 - 3:55 Four hell-bent-for-leather regulars -- Trampas, the Virginian, Steve, Betsy -- happily and speedily gallop towards camera through a golden field of wheat, perhaps. A magnificent location not seen again.
3:59 - 4:01 A hug and kiss amongst granddad and granddaughter, John and Elizabeth, whom he lovingly addresses sometimes as Libby. . . . Wow did we see Elizabeth / Sara Lane transition from a girl (here) to a young woman right before our eyes, three years and dozens of episodes later.
Four-minute mark.
4:13 Belden in the Rocky Mountain with cash practically spilling out of his shirt-pocket, possibly poker winnings. Incidentally, L.Q. Jones’s recurring Shiloh hand character’s name is sloppily spelled Beldon in some episodes.
4:20 - 4:22 Trampas and Elizabeth traveling in the wagon at the conclusion to a good one, ‘The Hell Wind.’ While they look great, individually and together, the oh-so-obvious sound stage, ‘interior exterior’ destroys the illusion and doesn’t come close to matching the actual Thousand Oaks location shots that it’s mixed in with.
4:29 - 4:41 Soundtrack reverts to the show’s with a marvelous music cue that underscores everyone’s in-unison toast-to-Shiloh.
“Bravo, superbly done, grade ‘A,’ ‘Emily Sullivan.’ Thank you.”
Happy Heavenly Birthday!
I WILL MISS YOU Guys
I loved it when judge Garth and Betsy were in it
Bossman we miss you
I will always remember the virginia,trampas,the judge and all
Just realized that I never commented on this because I was so choked up with emotions when I first watched it :) Even though I stopped watching the show when the Judge sold the ranch and all my favorite characters were gone (although I did watch a few episodes in season 5 because Ryker was still there), I still got a nostalgic feeling from this video, especially when you showed some scenes with Steve who was such a central part at the beginning and then left much too soon. Thanks for a great tribute!
Also, I'm curious: Have you ever watched the show Rawhide?
Yeah I did the same thing. I didn’t want to watch the later seasons but I did and I really like them! Especially when John McIntire and Jeanette Nolan came in. They were such a cute couple! I’m glad you liked it! You’re welcome! Yes I have but not very much... like I know all the characters and such but never really watched it that much... lol
@@emilysullivan2336 Hmm, maybe I should soldier on to the end of the show, then... And okay - Rawhide is probably my very favorite western show, with the Virginian being a close second - If you ever want a break from Virginian videos, I would love for you to make a Rawhide video, but I definitely understand if it's not a show you love and therefore wouldn't enjoy making a video about it :)
Yeah I think you should! Lol okay I will keep that in mind lol i wouldn’t have anything against making one at all but I’ll see what I can do, tho it won’t be for awhile. :)
Le Virginien.souvenir mélancoliques. De mon enfance. Année 60.c'était une belle série.rien avoir avec ce que l'ont nous montre aujourd'hui. C'était le bon temps.hélas c'était hier.
RIP
Muitas saudades 😞
Love this! So I thought I had this straight in my mind, but I’m kinda confused by who owned Shiloh and I thought I could get my answer here! So at first Judge Garth owned Shiloh. I read where John Dehner had a character who ran Shiloh. Next, John Grainger owned Shiloh then Clay. The last person to own Shiloh was Col. Mackenzie. Right? Also, what were, relation wise, John and Clay to Elizabeth and Stacey? Thanks!
Morgan Starr (John Dehner) ran Shiloh for Judge Garth until he sold it to John Grainger (Charles Bickford) When Bickford died, John McIntire came in as his younger brother , Clay. Col. Mackenzie was the last owner. Stacey and Elizabeth were John's grand children, Clay was their grand or great uncle, although the episode Girl in the Shadows messed up the whole Grainger family tree, ignoring John and Stacey and facts previously established and coming up with another brother we never heard of before.
NIc Fewer WOW! This is one I didn’t see! Don’t know how I missed it! I’m going to be sure I see Girl In The Shadows.
I missed some good info on the Grainger Family! Thanks!
@@nicfewer8393 Good, specific, detailed response. Thank you. Following on your Grainger family tree I never understood how the writers / producers and asleep-at-the-wheel NBC program executive(s) could let John's brother somehow, sloppily shift to a generation younger. I know it's awkward for Stacey and Elizabeth to always address Clay as "Great Uncle Clay" -- which, by the way, they never did. But, they should have had at least one or two lines of dialogue in at least one or two of the few dozen episodes where Clay and / or Holly would be specific about Stacey and Elizabeth and say these are my late brother Clay's grandchildren -- my grand nephew, Stacey, and grand niece, Elizabeth. OR the kids specify Clay was their great uncle, but they simply address him as Uncle Clay (and Aunt Holly).
I definitely don't buy that Clay is the son of John's brother -- they're too close in appearance if not exactly age.
. . . So, I ignore the terminology and avoidance of specifics and say -- and tell anyone who'll listen -- that John and Clay are brothers making them BOTH two generations removed from Stacey and Elizabeth. In Paul Green's "The Virginian" behind-the-scenes book Sara Lane (Elizabeth) shares how she so liked working with Charles Bickford (John) and that he came up with affectionately addressing her as Libby. Thinking back I will offer that more people called Stacey 'Stace' than shortened / adjusted Elizabeth's name.
. . . Also in the book on lineage of Shiloh folk it was never understood why the initial, short-term (as things developed) producer made Betsy the adopted daughter of Judge Garth. When the new producers came in to salvage the ambitious, expensive series and switch the era from 1898 back to 1888 they were quite perturbed with the invention of Betsy being adopted, AND for no apparent reason -- because it eliminated a number of story / episode possibilities. . . . 'Yesterday's Timepiece' has cozy dialogue between Clay and the chldren when they're in the attic going through an old trunk and he remarks about their dead parents (Indian attack) and his brother(s). But, I don't think he mentions John by name.
Congrats to "Makenzie Davis" for starting this dialogue and thank you to ""Nic Fewer" for that excellent start. I trust my paragraphs have been interesting and helpful. I so enjoyed this exercise.

While I love this show and watch it every day, it is often frustrating. The best episodes were when Doug and James were together. It might have been better to make it a 60 minute show and keep the two of them together.
Stars Doug McClure and James Drury would no doubt be flattered by your praise. As to your theory a (traditional) 60-minute version would be better, Drury would shoot that down with: (paraphrasing) "Our 90-minute length made 'The Virginian' more like a movie; made it special. And that appealed to a number of our guest stars whom we would not usually see guest starring"
