One of my absolute favorite dramas is a western that aired for 14 seasons. It started at the end of the 1950's and continued through the 1960's into the early 1970's. It is about a family that owns a very large ranch in about the mid 1800's.
I have always enjoyed stories of good triumphing over evil. This TV show has a lot of that. There is a lot about doing the right thing and doing good to people. Various episodes had great messages in the storylines.
There's a certain episode that deals with discrimination. One of the sons, in the family, is told about discrimination that has been going on in town. He replies something like, "Well that don't make no sense.". Discrimination truly makes no sense.
In another episode the father is forced to choose between his land and a kidnapped son. Of course he chooses his son over his land. Alas, the bad guy still loses at the end of the story. The father still has his family and his ranch all intact at the end. I really like the depth of the father's love for his family.
I enjoy a good drama that has great messages that make us stop and think. This TV show is no exception to that. :)
