The Range Rider THE BARON OF BROKEN BOW

In the grand tradition of The Lone Ranger, this classic TV Western stars Jock Mahoney in the title role and Dick Jones as his youthful partner.
THE BARON OF BROKEN BOW: The Range Rider and his sidekick, Dick West, are trying to get who is behind the recent feud between cattleman and sheepherders in Dick's hometown.

Wonder if this was the pilot episode. Sure good beginning to Range Rider.

[@leftys408]

thanks! I think this is the series Pilot episode.

[@mikeejay63]

+Barry Brodsky It is actually the ninth episode. The pilot was called Six Gun Party

[@leftys408]

+bah humbug ok thanks! when I was a kid, my dad took me to a Range Rider rodeo at the old Boston Garden. I can still remember one skit they did in a "saloon" where RR did some fancy gunplay.....

+Barry Brodsky I'm a bit too young to remember that, I'm only 53. I started watching these out of order here on KZbin a little while back, after CBS cleared out the Hogans Heros channels, one of which I was a regular in, I started looking for other oldies. The reason this looks like a pilot is because Range Rider and Dick are pretending to first meet to get to the bottom of the feud between the cattle and sheep men. They don;t give it away until after the mock fight when Dick asks, did ya have to hit me that hard (lol)

+bah humbug right you are! what a trip it must have been to be on that series! have you written a book yet? I teach Screenwriting at a few colleges in the Boston area and am just getting into TV writing (trying to write a spec pilot) which is weird because TV has really been my love my whole life from the first time I saw the "two faces" of drama on a local show in the 50s and according to my mother ran screaming into my bedroom. a lot of people I knew were revulsed by the idea of "funny nazis" in HH but like a lot of good satire I think it shows that if you get past foolish nationalism, underneath 99 percent of us are alike in more ways than not, and that if we can get to know one another there's much less chance we'd think it's okay to kill each other.

[@bethanycampione3558]

This should've been the pilot episode. As is, I don't think their origin story is ever told

[@Zara-Bari]

They meet (or are implied to meet) for the first time in no less than three episodes that I've seen. I'm still a little unclear on whether it's a first meeting in this one or a pretend first meeting as some kind of cover. Obviously they met before the beginning of the episode, but it's unclear how long ago as this feels a little like a first adventure together. I also don't think this is the same father Dick had in a different episode. It's possible Range Rider was not really into continuity, even by 50s television standards XD

Westerns were King of the Cowboys once very popular, now very rare to see a new Western. Any good anyway just old codgers watch westerns now.🤠🐎🐃
