Sixteen episodes are all we have of what critics call the best ever, a western series produced, written, & directed by the great Sam Peckinpaw. Brian Keith starred as a wandering cowboy, his only companion a large scruffy dog, who righted wrongs & thrilled the ladies. Great actors flocked the series & a chance to work with Peckinpaw. The critics loved the pilot & first episodes. Sponsors lined up. What went wrong?? NBC placed the series opposite "The Flintstones" & refused to move it. Rerun networks don't show such short series, so we don't get to see it, like "Dirty Sally", a spinoff of Gunsmoke lasting 13 episodes on CBS for similar reasons. Anybody who has copies if this series, please make them available!!! If you see a copy of The Westerner, Buy it while you can!!

Brian Keith was an excellent actor for that era… and I remember watching this as a boy but it wasn’t on long and that’s a tragedy..! But I’m so glad to get these few episodes..entertaining and engaging for sure.. just wish that they would have kept up the show..☹️

Brian Keith is a good actor, but the plots leave something to be desired. They are bland. The “westerner” drifts in and out of different situations usually all causing him some problems. Each episode ends suddenly before you expect that it should. I do not recommend the series.
