I was just a babe when the original series was on TV, so I am "Tivo-ing" every single episode on Ch 5-2 Cozi TV in Chicago for the last 8 months and I ABSOLUTELY love this program!! Somepeople need a daily "fix" of coffee or somethin, THIS program is MY daily FIX!! I cry in almost every episode. I want to personally THANK all the surviving cast members of "The Virginian" for bringing me so much enjoyment and action in a TV series. I am so happy to see there are so many of you left. If you ever have a reunion in the Chicago area, I will be in the front row! I think Gary Clarke and Randy should have been in a lot more episodes, it seems they just disappeared one day! I miss Doug McClure as much as y''all. I liked the addition of Liz and Stacey Grainger - great characters, Clu Gulagher was my all time favorite character and actor. Was there any significance to the feather in his hat? Neat. The only thing that drives me crazy is that "The Virginian" never changed his rust red shirt.... Why?? Do y'all miss riding horses all day? Whatever happened to the white horse? I just watched an episode introducing Jean Peloquin (now Joe Cannon?) singing Mr. Painter and it was beautiful & hauntingly melodic Did he sing in any upcoming episodes?. The episodes with singing in them were my favorites. Just the right touch. 7/20/14
I dated randy in 1963 and he was the sweetest guy! !! We went to the Golden bear in Huntington Beach a lot and he and hoyt axton would pick and sing for hours!! Great music and wonderful memories thanks Randy! !! Jacque. . ( used to be Lyn Peters )
So glad to know at last why the author of the novel "The Virginian" was never given any credit for creating these characters. Owen Wister was never mentioned. Clu Gulager finally cleared it up! Still think it was tacky that Universal never put his name in the credits.
Looks like Randy is either bored stiff or dead tired. Clu's seems sharp as a tack...he was always one of my favorites..esp when he was playing a cowboy!
Boy i wished I'd of known about this, I don't live that far from the GA Museum and would have loved to have gone....I was on the series from 67-69 and it was one of the best times in my life....hope some body will let me know if there's ever another one..it would have been great to see Jim & Clu againg and Jim's son (Timothy Drury) is now famous in his own right, great artist and musician and photographer ...those were the days.....Jean Peloquin now known as Joe Cannon
1960 is when usa lost its independence to a marxism and those who are part of group that design it. The virginian is a series that was part of it, implementing ideology in beautiful package. Unfortunately that is the truth.
