I also have a feeling Fuller spent more money than other series directors, or else knew how to work the budget better. I actually opted in to Encore Westerns as a pay service because I thought the package it came with (FEARNet plus a multichannel on-demand service along with all the Encores) was a better value than the more expensive premium channels. I only regret that Encore doesn't letterbox widescreen movies; the western genre needs that treatment more than any other.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-58859615142831343892011-10-14T09:35:17.406-04:002011-10-14T09:35:17.406-04:00I would love to see this! Remember watching THE VI...I would love to see this! Remember watching THE VIRGINIAN occasionally but as you mention, Drury and McClure were dull actors. Sadly, my cable provider changed the station lineup and ENCORE is now extra $$$, it used to be part of the standard package. Nice stuff on a rare catch!<br /><br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-41923080406251656002011-10-09T20:04:21.057-04:002011-10-09T20:04:21.057-04:00d., I caught the episode quite by accident on Enco...d., I caught the episode quite by accident on Encore Westerns, but the screencaps come from Netflix, where the early seasons of the series are available for free streaming.

I must keep a lookout for that episode. Westerns don't get much more awesome than <em>Forty Guns</em>.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
