Great series, new fan

Always thought Steve McQueen was a great actor (who doesn't?), but I'd never realized he was in this series until I caught an episode by chance on MeTV. I immediately went to Amazon and bought the whole thing because almost sixty hours for fifteen bucks of Steve McQueen playing a shady Man with No Name kind of character will never be a bad thing. Can't say I regret it. This is a lot darker than I'd have expected for the golden age of Western TV, but it's better for all that. Nice, tense writing, too. Whoever wrote for this knew their stuff.

I watch this show every Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., and fell in love with Steve McQueen at the age of 7 years old. He was ALWAYS one of my favorites for the rest of his life!!! I bought the set from Amazon too and have enjoyed it immensely! He was such an excellent actor and his use of facial expressions is beyond belief. I am sorry he left us so soon and his cancer is still killing people but they talk about it now. I was diagnosed with a non-Hodgkins Lymphoma 5 years after he died and I survived!
