SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Perfectly adorable

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I was just a young lad of eight when Branded came out. It was on Sunday night, my parents bowling night. My little brother and I would drive my older brother crazy (hey, it was our jobs) getting us to bed, and we'd always promise to go if he let us watch the Branded opening. I also remember the parody of the theme song, but with slightly different words. I believe it went a little something like this:Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl What do ya do when you're stranded And there's none on the roll.You take it like a man And you wipe it with your hand...Stranded, stranded on the toilet boooowl.Thank you, thank you very much.

As a "Rifleman" fan, I wasn't impressed with this series too much, even though I've always liked Chuck Connors' work.The premise, a man who was thought to have abandoned his cavalry brothers in cowardice - but not really, gave the opportunity, like Star Trek, Route 66, The Fugitive and other t.v. shows, for the main character to roam from town to town, place to place, etc., to meet other people and help them deal with whatever crisis they happened to be facing at the time.The theme song was great and gave opportunity for some wag to come up with alternative lyrics... "Stranded, on the toilet bowl. What do you do when you're stranded without a roll?"

I won't say it was the cream of the crop of TV westerns, as far as production goes, but it's premise was...I disagree most strongly with the first comment, McCord did try to clear his name many times, just not at the cost of others, and McCord, a wronged man, a pariah, would indeed, have to drift from town to town. If he stayed too long he would likely be strung from a tree...I too watched this on late night TV, in fact it's still on the New York City ABC affiliate, as a late night time filler.That's an undeserved legacy.In the current climate of turning past TV series into big-budget films, this is a no-brainer.I'd be interested to know if the property's being sought after.They'd be morons not to include theme song somewhere, it is really stunning.

I used to watch this show on the usual circuit of bad late night television. I will not glorify it; it only lasted two seasons because it was not a great show. It was respectable, however, and had a theme song that made it memorable."All but one man died..."
