    Boring, long, and too preachy.

    I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

    I saw this when I was a kid, and hated it because they were always searching but never finding. Ever since then I hate shows that are in any way like that. The new Ashly Judd TV show of her looking for her son, seriously, we know she will never find him because that is the only way the show can continue.Who wants to watch a show were people are always never getting the whole purpose of the show? Every show they almost find him, they just missed him, every show is a let down. Why would anyone like a show like that? I have said all that needs to be said, but this stupid web site requires me to write lots more lines, so I have to write lots more lines. What? A short review is not a good review? No one wants to read a short, to the point review? Bull crap!

    More due to changing times than anything else, The Guns Of Will Sonnett only lasted two seasons. Walter Brennan got to star in his third and final television series and the only one that was dramatic, the previous two being comedies. The premise involved was a simple one. Grandfather and grandson wandered the west looking for the missing generation. Walter Brennan was Will Sonnett, a seminal frontier character, former army scout, buffalo hunter, just about every occupation in the west there was. Of course it took him away from his responsibilities as father and his son, Jason Evers, grew up to be a notorious gunfighter and also an absentee dad.But Brennan's grandson Dack Rambo had the advantage of having Brennan raise him, gave him a strict moral code to live by as well as how to handle a six gun. One thing I never did figure out is where were the Sonnett women? There was no mention of Brennan's wife and there was one story where a woman claimed to be Evers's wife and Rambo's mother, but she turned out not to be. The show had one catchphrase I always liked. When Brennan said he was going to do something extraordinary to some, he would inevitably say in every show, "no brag, just fact". And he always backed it up.So every week Will and Jeff Sonnett would arrive in some town looking for James Sonnett and getting involved in some local situation. The show afforded an opportunity for Brennan as producer as well as star to cast some of his old friends in several episodes. It did get to look sometimes like a geriatric western.I wish it had stayed around a bit longer.

    I think it was a great series, and wish it had lasted. Walter Brennan,s" NO BRAG JUST FACT " was great line then and still is. I have many friends that watched the series and would like to see a return on TV Land,TNT or any classic TV show. I would buy, Lease,Borrow, Beg, or Steal The film or the whole series. I Just thought they should have had more of Jim Sonnet in the show, But i guess the writers thought it would make the plot more exciting. If anyone Knows where to find a few copies please put it on the WEB at E-Bay or any other site. BUT I think it was a super film and should be revised and put on the Air again. Thank youUPDATE I have found at www.timelessvideo.com Both seasons of" The Guns of Will Sonnett " Thank you and enjoy.

    Ex-cavalry scout Will Sonnet spouts scripture and wisdom while riding around the west with grandson Jeff. They're looking for the middle generation, Jim, the seldom-seen, lightning-fast, gunslinging anti-hero. Old man Will is grumpy and frugal. He's faster than son Jim ("no brag, just fact," as he says.) Jeff is as good as he is pretty. He sometimes gets suckered by the bad guys, but is still plenty fast and resourceful, since he's been raised by the best. Jim is only occasionally present, but never betrays the moral and badass Sonnet name.
