His daughter Valerie recently gave an interview on Rarified Heir podcast. It is full of information we never knew. Valerie is a great interview.

Listen to an interview with Richard Long's daughter Valerie Long in December 2024 on Rarified Heir podcast. It's a great interview.

Very good !

I listened to an interview with Richard’s daughter on Rarified Heir podcast. She actually called him her hero. He saved her life twice, she said. The end of his life had some hero in there too. Great interview. Worth the listen.

Loved Richard ❤

I read somewhere that Lee Majors said of all the series he did, BV was the most fun. This little clip kind of shows that.

Wow! This great. You've got some great scenes here of wonderful Richard

I agree with u I loved eugene😊

What a great cast. Any one of the actors could have overwhelmed the others but didn’t.

Nick dancing! He got that good foot going.

I did an informal tally once during a binge watch of BV episodes - all of them. By my tally, Heath shot most men dead (26), Jarrod right behind him (23, plus Jarrod drowned a guy too), Nick much further back (16, but Nick beat up more men). The TV Old West was a deadly place but the real Old West, not so much, thank goodness.

Peter Breck told a story in an interview in the late 1970s, about how he and Richard Long would tease Lee Majors saying "Don't move, Lee. Just look pretty." LM was new at acting and almost always had a poker face without expression. He was still in learning mode.

What episode was 2:45 from, please.

Wonder how many times they had to practice the apple throw. All the guys are so sexy but Heath at 0.58 is just WOW!

What episode is 3:42 from?

Never a show with a better set of brother characters since. And never a show w a sexier cast

3:09 The world is in a better place because of you. True!

Thank you and God bless you and your family.

What a great

I still watch and love this show

You did a wonderful job on this video the song matches the lyrics perfectly.

Even now - nearly 50 years since he was around - I like to take an afternoon every once in a while and watch DVDs of his various characters - Jarrod, Rex Randolph, Professor Everett, and lots of others that were just one shots - and I like to notice how he made them different from one another. Rex Randolph couldn't let a woman walk by without checking the rear view and was pretty hip with wordplay and proverbs. Rex got into fights more frequently than Nick Barkley did. Jarrod was straight-laced and more formal, more cerebral, more responsible and aware he had to keep volatile family members in line, seldom fighting but effective when he did. Prof. Everett was relaxed, didn't keep a tight rein on his kids (too loose sometimes - often absent-minded), moved his body when he talked and never passed by a plate of food without snitching a little. Then there was Ernie Paine - loud, jovial, irresponsible, womanizing and loving every minute of it. His psycho bad guys, as in "One False Step" (77 Sunset Strips remake of Strangers on a Train) or Jerry Carter (Death Cruise, his last) - they were even different from one another. He even got the chance to play Jarrod as a good guy AND a disturbed bad guy in the same episode. RL had a leading man's looks and a character actor's range, and he worked constantly from his first film at 17 in 1945 until he passed at 47 in 1974. He was fun to watch. Rest In Peace, RL. Thanks for all those guys.

Jarrod Barkley Never Surrenders Richard Long Played This Part Well

Like The Bourbon Street Beat Video Of Richard Long As Rex Randolph The Bald Guy He Hits Looks Like Sam Drucker From Petticoat Junction Green Acres But Probably Isnt

I Liked Eugene He Would've Been The Barkley Answer To Joe Cartwright On Bonanza Of He Stayed On

Love This Song! It Fits The Barkley Brothers (Jarrod Nick And Heath Barkley) Perfect!

Great Video

Love This Song! The Barkley Brothers Are Great!!!

1:39 - Oddly enough, I think Jarrod was the only Barkley whoever toppled the bar in a bar fight. RL did all the fighting himself in that scene too.

He came from a large and ordinary family, the only actor in the bunch then and even now except for his wives and his sister's husband, Marshall Thompson. His niece, Janet Thompson, passed a couple years ago. Her zoom memorial is here on KZbin and it is loaded with Longs.

Still enjoying this video 2 years later.

I enjoyed them all episodes, but the one I like the most was when their sister was in love with Breckenridge

Nice to see others still enjoying this.

To roy I’ll never surrender

Thanks for putting Eugene in too

Thank you!

I know this was put together years and years ago but since it just appeared in my feed I'm going to comment anyway. This is probably, still, one of my favorite shows even after all these decades. I loved the dynamics and the character development. Watching this made me wonder what type of friendship Lee Majors and Peter Breck had off camera. There was a lot of chemistry there. I know Linda Evans and Barbara Stanwyck were close but i've never read about the others.

Adorable! The days when our screens were filled with sexy, manly men!

I love the hug at the end! Thank you

Love this

I Liked Eugene Barkley (Charles Briles) If Chuck Hadnt Been Drafted He Would've Had A Greater Role To Play And Would've Given Jarrod Nick And Heath A Run 🏃 For Their Money 💰

Don't Mess With The Barkley Family Of The Big Valley

Love This Song It Fits The Barkley Brothers

Loved This Video Richard Long Shines As Rex Randolph I Wish Me Tv 📺 Would Put This Show On

Enjoyed This Video Richard Long Is My Favorite Actor In Either Big Valley And Nanny And The Professor

Perfect song for the Barkley men. They were sexy. Oo-La La. 😊😊😊

Why?

I’d like to know what law school Jarrod went to! 😂😂

Great show.

Great ❤️
