Attention Scott and Jim: For months, I have been searching for the coveted Season #1, Episode #1 or the Rifleman, and then it dawned on me that YouTube was my friend. After a 5 second search, I finally saw it! [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoFab2ZBoiY&list=PLcpzsaOWnjTHSc03c4Us3jCerO7Z72SMP[/ame]
Man , now your talking. I hate watching movies 2-3 times... but... I could watch all them Rifleman shows ovr and over. I see new things every time I watch. That's cool. I just seen that episode a few weeks ago... I wish I had every episode on DVD, Jim
Look, he's wearing a vest. I think this is one of two times I've seen Lucas boy wearing a vest. Don't think there's an episode I haven't seen at least once.
Look how young Mark is. I watched a western the other day and it had Mark, also around 12 years old, playing a major part in the movie. He was the son of a widow and he aimed his rifle right at some trespassers. I don't remember if it was a Laramie show or not.
I seen that was Dennis Hopper playing Vern He started out do B movies and shows until he hooked up with Peter Fonda in "Easy Rider" which was a pop hit back in the 60's. He played a lot of bit parts until he finally graduated to the big league shows. He passed away about 3 years ago if memory serves me right Chuck Conners played first base for the Chicago Cubs until a knee injury took him out of baseball. When I was a kid, I had a bubble gum card with Chuck Conners on it. It had to be from the middle 1950's. Tommy
I thought that was Dennis Hopper. Yep, I just confirmed it through IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0686728/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_178 Sure looked different from when he played on Easy Rider.
I believe I've seen Dennis Hopper in some other shows of that era. Maybe Bonanza, Rawhide or something like that?

I met the rifleman at Old Tucson Studios as a mere brat. He signed my lever action rifle like his with the big ring. Wish I still had it.
