Good stuff, Russ! Interesting "randoms" about Chuck Connors, et al.
While The Rifleman is not at the tippy top of my favorite TV westerns list (mainly due to how drippy and whiny lil' Johnny Crawford can get at times...seriously, is this kid really Lucas McCain's son?), Connors is always great in it. The Rifleman opening, however, IS one of my all-time faves...just love Connors' cocky side-eye to the camera...such a badass.
By the way, Chuck Connors fires off 12 rounds in the opening credits. I know everyone was holding their breath on this.
