Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Just wanted to say, I had the good fortune of being on the Ranch in Carmel, California when they filmed the series. My Uncle was Foreman of the Ranch. I made lifelong friends with several of the cast. Mostly the stuntmen, as that's where my heart lies. We wrote letters for years. Especially Jack Williams. We actually dated, and called each other on the phone. He was an amazing man ! I dated one of the stuntmen named Mike Spencer. I have many pictures of the whole experience. One is a picture of Joe Don Baker standing with me. He had kissed me on the head and bent his head over on top of mine. Swoon ! (Joe Don, or anyone else in the cast, if you read this I'd be happy to send you copies of the pictures). For a teenager this whole thing was so special. Being there while they were filming was such a treat ! I wish everyone could have this experience. Just hanging around the stars, eating with them, being so quiet when they were filming. Nothing like it. Memories I'll never forget. Thanks for letting me share my experience~~~

I liked Andrew Duggan as a pappy who brought home his lost sheep, one from the city, and one was an Outlaw. My favorite episode was called "Murdock's Birthday", where the boys got his present and ended up giving the stuff to other families in need. It was too bad that James Stacy had the accident which left him crippled. Mr. Duggan was earlier connected with a large detective outfit with four offices, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Burbon St. Beat,(Duggan and Richard Long) and something in Miami. It seemed like Family Westerns were hot during that period..and I enjoyed stories that went beyond hot lead and gunsmoke. Best part of those family westerns was the great color scenery. We know it didn't really look like those scenes in Big Valley, and Bonanza, but who cares. It gave us a nice evening.

What about 'Lancer' was not to love, especially for prepubescent elementary school girls? It was a story about a ranch and featured a grumpy patriarch, a cute female 'ward' and two gorgeous, non-threatening young men, one dark, one fair.Johnny, the son of a Mexican serving-wench, was my favorite.My friends and I were so crazy about 'Lancer' it was a frequent subject of our conversations for most of the week, and the ONLY topic of conversation on Tuesdays (anticipation of that night's episode) and Wednesdays (the aftermath.) Fancying myself a writer even back then, I would write stories about 'Lancer,' the first of which introduced my pals and I as new 'wards' of the Lancer family. My friend Penny, the artist, illustrated the stories. We made probably the first and only 'Lancer' graphic novel. I'd give anything to have those stories back..... It's nice to visit this page and discover that 'The Lancer-ettes' and I were not the show's only fans.

This was a great show that unfortunately wasn't provided the budget that it deserved to stay on the air. Wayne Maunder and James Stacy had the type of chemistry that made you feel as if they really were brothers. Andrew Duggan played an excellent Murdoch Lancer. Oh, how I loved to hate him.!!!! Loved watching this show with my sister. Wayne Maunder was my favorite as Scott!!!
