The big valley was the best written western of its day the acting was superb the story lines brought you to tears true to real life they taught us about it thru each episode a timeless masterpiece well written thru the ages
I still admire The Big Valley and the legend of the Barkley Family. The theme is always inspiring. And, obviously, the show reminds me of my youth when I would sometimes watch it on ABC on Wednesday nights, and, later, Monday nights. Thanks for the presentation.
Loved the Big Valley such good memories men were handsome and women were beautiful nowadays everything is garbage these were the good shows miss them so much
Im going to be perfectly honest. The Big Valley though it lasted a few years, is one of those Westerns that people just straight up like. Also Barbara Stanwyck got even *more* beautiful when she did this show, even though she started her golden years. (If you've seen a few of her films like the Night Nurse, or Double Indemnity you'll see a great actress).
I have seen most of Stanwyck' movies ( even rarities like 'Red Salute') and she is at her best in westerns ( starting with 'Annie Oakley'). Why? She was tough. Watch her fighting in the mud against David Janssen on Zane Grey Theatre ( no stunt woman it's all Barbara face to the camera ( just like when she took a punch from Clark Gable in 'Night Nurse'))
I first saw her in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers", followed by "Double Indemnity." Whether as a scheming femme fatale or a sympathetic widow, you could always count on Barbara Stanwyck to give a dynamic performance. I'm not a huge Western fan, but this and "Little House on the Prairie" are just too good to ignore.
@Arthur Anderson - I've always wondered the same thing, the second season opening theme music is missing after the first two episodes of 1966-67. I recall a different arrangement for the 4th season opening theme, too, but don't have any proof. It's not on any episode of the season four DVD set. Go figure!!
There are very few times that there is no debate about who is the best at something. One of those times is choosing the best actress in western history. Who is that? Miss Barbara Stanwyck.
I always loved this show when I was a kid, it was shown in the UK first on Saturday evenings before switching to Sunday afternoons. Great acting, great storylines and the theme music by George Duning is divine. The only drawback was that we had to watch it in black-and-white. I wish it would get repeated along with some other great "Westerns" that we don't see anymore, e.g. "Bonanza", "Rawhide" etc. The genre has sadly completely died out now. David, London N8.
Well, thank you for including a couple of scenes with Eugene, whose part showed promise, but ended the second the producers heard the word, draft (1965, you know) .
There was another Barkley brother, but only for season 1. Eugene (who's seen a couple of times here) went back East to medical school. Kind of like Chuck Cunningham on Happy Days. 😉
ironically, the sets in town, the Saloon (Longbranch), Marshal's office (Dillon's),, are all shot on the 'GUNSMOKE' set. they borrowed Dodge, for Stockton.
I was in love with all three boys throughout the series, lol. None more than Jarrod, though. I was just a little girl, and I thought Jarrod was everything I wanted in a husband! I loved how he dressed-such sharp clothes. He dressed so much differently than Heath and Nick. But I also thought Heath was gorgeous and thought Nick was ruggedly handsome.
Loved the season 3 and 4 opening theme the best. It has this regal arrangement to it that is hard to resist. The visuals, too, were done beautifully. All in all, though, the entire series was brilliant. My favorite tv western. Thanks for posting!
When I look at This Scene it reminds me of The McKade Brothers which was a Series Of Romance Novels written by Nora Roberts. There were Four Books spotlighting each Brother. Rafe, Jared, Devin, and Shane. They ran a Farm that was first owned by their Parents The Late Buck & Mary McCracken and although many folks didn't think they'd be able to keep it they proved them wrong.
It's a good thing all of the episodes of The big valley are on MeTV including the network affiliates such as Chicago Milwaukee well that's going to be the Happy days Los Angeles and of course Texas which is a state
I liked Peters character Nick in the series the best, he often get the wrong end of the stick, and get fiery, put his foot in it then have to make things right, but at the bottom of him was a decent bloke. Poor Richard Long died only 5 years after the series ended of a heart attack.
@@scottmiller6495 He is and and say underrated, where the rest of the cast seem to play stuff more or less one way, Peter could be intense and then very light. He was great in Shock Corridor and lifts an episode of The Outer Limits /O.B.I.T. (which is more or less a one room episode). Shame as far as I know was never the star of a long running series.
Not to sound too morbid or anything, but I was going through some old local newspapers from the 1920's to see if there was anything of historical interest, and unfortunately here was an article about Miss Stanwyck. The newspaper was from 1927 and it was about an unknown man breaking into Miss Stanwyck's flat on Broadway while she was working on show "Burlesque" and assaulting her. She was taken to the hospital and released and her stand in completed the show the next day. The man was never caught. On a lighter note I think its great that her and many other early Broadway stars were still working well into the 1960's. Joan Blondell (Here Come the Brides) who appeared with Miss Stanwyck in those pre-code "talkies" was another one. In fact Dick Powell, Blondell's ex-husband was a partner in Big Valley's production company Four Star (along with David Niven, Ida Lupino and Joel McCrea). Aaron Spelling bought out Four Star and eventually was sold to Fox. If the information is correct, that would make "The Big Valley" rights held by the Walt Disney Company.
ironically, didn't ELVIS have blonde hair as a child? and Majors was from the ELVIS school of acting. just good enough, and they look alike. and I always root for Heath when there's trouble. the Barkley boys were not to be fooled with. didn't Nick tell someone? "we earned this land , w/sweat, hard work, and no small amount of blood!".and Stanwyck gets into a fight w/ a crooked photographer in his dark room, lending it a sort of dream quality, and being the fairer sex, she had to put the hurt on this guy ,kicking his ass in a fight, as he was determined to ruin the Barkleys ...,or something. always fair, but tough. she uses his own equipment to break his skull. and how 'bout the time when she had to save Audra (be still my heart)from that rapist freak/spoiled brat ? the rancher's son(RG Armstrong). her acting in that scene was first rate, as always. nearly had a nervous breakdown. Jarod shows up w/ evidence that they had sent the kid "back east" NOT to school, but to a mental health facility, or corrections place(can't remember all of it correctly). the kid was no good, and RG wanted it to appear, Audra was at fault.
Back when California and most of the western United States was still the Wild West only ceasing to be the Wild West ether at the beginning of the 20th century or the beginning of world war 2, by the 1960s California was no longer the Wild West and was the only southern state booming do to nice weather and lots navy ship building during world war 2 especially out of the San Francisco navy ship yards states like Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah on the other hand were not growing at much do to an extremely hot and dry climate though Colorado was growing rapidly but only on the rugged wet green half of the state not so much on the flatter dry half, until the invention of air conditioning and building of water infrastructure in much of the south west, now California aka commiefornia is a democratic shit hole, and people are leaving in droves, Colorado has gone the way of California, New Mexico is just as democratic as California, Nevada is a swing that tilts democrat, Arizona is a swing state that tilts republican and Texas is still republican but not a solid as it used to be, if all the south west goes safe democrat over the next few years, you can kiss your liberties good by for good

The big valley and gunsmoke were my favorite westerns. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
For Lee Majors, going from cowboy to bionic man to famous stuntman and everything in-between, I truly enjoyed any show he ever appeared or starred in.
Whatever Mickey Suze Four
Exactly , so did I
I remember watching this as a kid. It was a great show!
The Big Valley is my all time favorite Western!
Loved the Big Valley such good memories men were handsome and women were beautiful nowadays everything is garbage these were the good shows miss them so much
Agree
People 50 years from now will say the same thing about today's television shows - it's called nostalgia
MARIA DEFRAGA WOW ! You said it ! Thank God for technology 🤗 .......😉
@@ajdickey Hard to imagine how it can become more trashy than it is now.
@@ajdickey No it isn't just nostalgia. And in 50 years there won't be anymore TV or movies or music. All of the good old stuff will be forgotten.
Barbara Stanwyck from Annie Oakley to Victoria Barkley. Simply put, the greatest female western star of them all.
Amen if The Duke was the king then she was the queen!
The greatest western star and film noir vamp that ever graced the screen. She was truly a gifted actress!
@@johnyzero2000 es muy lindo Ami me gusta
Pacific Coast- California. "The big Valley" favorite western show. Thanks INSP for showing weekend shows.
Back when TV tried to show us our best and help lift us up.
One of the best productions (and there were many) to come from Four Star Television...
Favorite TV western of all time
Love the big valley
Love Peter Breck
egeo03 watch them growing up still love the themes

One of the best TV westerns
🇧🇷 Brazil. I used to follow Big Valley weekly, and it's unforgettable.
Modern TV producers don't have the mojo to produce material with such masculine energy any more.
From the pilot episode, "Palms of Glory", the opening theme music is unique to this episode, never to be used again. I've always liked it!
Tom V I love this version of the opening theme.
I'm just realising this
@Arthur Anderson - I've always wondered the same thing, the second season opening theme music is missing after the first two episodes of 1966-67. I recall a different arrangement for the 4th season opening theme, too, but don't have any proof. It's not on any episode of the season four DVD set. Go figure!!

Amen

One of my 4 favorite Westerns, along with Bonanza, Gunsmoke and The Rifleman.
No disrespect intended for WAGON TRAIN, but the names you mentioned above should be the weekday MeTV schedule with BIG VALLEY at 4/3 Central.
Love Big valley and Bonanza GREAT shows RIP the western s maybe some day they will return till then reruns of the classic will have to do
Well, thank you for including a couple of scenes with Eugene, whose part showed promise, but ended the second the producers heard the word, draft (1965, you know) .
My Favorite Western Of All Time
Loved this as a child.
I really liked it in 1972 David Gibbs too crazy for me now
Classic tv western
I was sooo in love with AUDRA!!!
As a kid of 08 years of age!!!
There was another Barkley brother, but only for season 1. Eugene (who's seen a couple of times here) went back East to medical school. Kind of like Chuck Cunningham on Happy Days. 😉
This and The high chapparral my 2 favorite
When tv was awesome
You could keep Gunsmoke and Bonanza. *THIS* was one !!!
I agree
ironically, the sets in town, the Saloon (Longbranch), Marshal's office (Dillon's),, are all shot on the 'GUNSMOKE' set. they borrowed Dodge, for Stockton.
Of all the western type shows the only one I ever watched was The Big Valley
I was in love with all three boys throughout the series, lol. None more than Jarrod, though. I was just a little girl, and I thought Jarrod was everything I wanted in a husband! I loved how he dressed-such sharp clothes. He dressed so much differently than Heath and Nick. But I also thought Heath was gorgeous and thought Nick was ruggedly handsome.
tammyramey if you liked Richard Long you had good taste I liked him on Nanny And The Professor and in Ma And Pa Kettle as Tom Kettle
Do not forget eugene
@@heidivert830 Oh, I don't remember Eugene. I was very young when I watched this show.
Heath was my childhood idol/Big Brother
Nowhere near to being versatile; he made the most of what he had more than most actors with a hundred times the talent.
Virginia Barkley should settled down with Ben Cartwright from Bonanza. They are both single, widowed people and have kids.
altarush, yes! True! Lol.
Little Joe & Heath in the SAME house,OK.
Jared could teach Hoss how to read, while his sister could teach him table manners when Hoss belly ups to the corn mash barrel with the other hogs.
He proposed but she didn't want to become dead wife no. 4.
But she batted for the other team.
Peter Breck was my first real crush! I was probably 10 when I first saw The Big Valley!
about the same age as me in 1972 too crazy for me now Cindy Liberty
I used to like this show quite a bit in 1972 too crazy for me now
The theme isn't quite there yet. It would soon get much better.
the other opening arrangement of the theme song which apparently came later, beats the hell out of this one.
I would agree way to choppy, but love the end theme arrangement.
Loved the season 3 and 4 opening theme the best. It has this regal arrangement to it that is hard to resist. The visuals, too, were done beautifully. All in all, though, the entire series was brilliant. My favorite tv western. Thanks for posting!
and thank you! I'm nostalgic for certain TV themes.@@DonatoDamiano-r2g
Yeah i love the theme song from the big valley the tv show series
When I look at This Scene it reminds me of The McKade Brothers which was a Series Of Romance Novels written by Nora Roberts. There were Four Books spotlighting each Brother. Rafe, Jared, Devin, and Shane. They ran a Farm that was first owned by their Parents The Late Buck & Mary McCracken and although many folks didn't think they'd be able to keep it they proved them wrong.
Love this show!
Amazing how one son disappeared and the series continued without mentioning him.
like Chuck Cunningham ( Richie's) brother from Happy Days.😁
go awayyyyy karen
" I'll Always Love 💘you Hayden Panettiere "
I had such a crush on Linda Evans!!!
truly a thing of great beauty. people who thought she was hot in the '70's have to see 'the BIG VALLEY'. also underrated for acting.
Loves from Indonesia 😍😍😍😍...this movie is favorite in my family
It's a good thing all of the episodes of The big valley are on MeTV including the network affiliates such as Chicago Milwaukee well that's going to be the Happy days Los Angeles and of course Texas which is a state
Great Series Now We Have TRASH !!!!!!
that is so true David Williamson including Big Valley itself
Love Peter Breck
why Janice Steven's?
I liked Peters character Nick in the series the best, he often get the wrong end of the stick, and get fiery, put his foot in it then have to make things right, but at the bottom of him was a decent bloke.

@@garrettdark4099 Peter Breck was a great actor and a very handsome man, R I P !!!!!

Shame as far as I know was never the star of a long running series.
Linda Evans from Audra Barkley to Krystal Carrington what a beautiful actress great show as well
Love this version of the theme!
Stunning
Damn they were all so young, and Linda Evan's was ah knock out. Barbara Stanwyck was hot 🔥too though!
I had a huge crush on Linda Evans when I was a kid.
