Family Show
I know the "The Rifleman" was a family-oriented tv show. However, one important aspect of 19th century life was obviously ignored. That omission would be prostitution. Women who had no money and no family, this was the only means for survival. Not every female could teach or run a store. There were some episodes of female characters who were not well liked or shady, but that was as far as the plot took it. Miss Hattie, Milly and Lou were the core female cast members during the show's run and they were all great role models. Not all of history's past needs to be told.
