Eddie Albert's son is really good in this episode as the leader of the kidnappers. He should have had a bigger career.

What NOT to due if you robbed and under a gun. DO NOT go for your own hardware. IF they are only taking the money and running, say bad things about their mothers, let them have the cash and file an insurance claim. Getting into a shoot out is more trouble than its worth.

How could such a poor rural county afford to keep paying for all of the police cars and civilian cars that Buford keeps crashing on a regular basis? Insurance companies would run like hell from that sheriff's department.

GREAT SHOW, WATCHED EVERY WEEK

Something tells me that the fictional town of Clary is actually Newhall, California (as it was in 1981). At 3:08 into the video, you'll see a white sign just above the yellow chevy truck that says Newhall Paint. just nine seconds later, you see a green sign painted on the side of a building in the back ground behind the truck that says Newhall Jewelers. It would have been a logical choice. It is just over the hill outside of Los Angeles.

I wonder if the city is going to pay for that poor old woman's car that Buford commandeered to chase those bank robbers? I believe this is the first time I've seen Chuck Connors playing a bad guy. I recognized him right away. I grew up in a small mountain community called Tehachapi, the same place Chuck Connors called home when he wasn't in Hollywood. Chuck Connors moved freely about town and didn't make any special effort to hide from the public. What was interesting is that he owned a ranch in the area and when he wasn't making movies or TV shows he was working on it. So quite often, he would be seen around town wearing what he wore on the ranch, looking exactly like Lucas McCain on the Rifleman. As residents, we were all used to it. However, he probably made quite a few tourists passing through town do a double take.

I wonder why they didn't keep actor Bruce Glover on as Grady.
