"Daniel Boone" is a show that has flown out of almost every pigeonhole into which the TV critics have tried to stuff it.
It's not really a Western (most action takes place East of the Mississippi), but it has all the elements of a classic Western.
Action/Adventure? Sure, lots of it, but with plenty of food for thought provided by the family and social issues that are woven into most plots.
Drama? Yep, but with elements of humor that bring some episodes into the range of Comedy.
History? ahem Well, let's just say that this Dan'l must have lived in an alternate world (see, Science Fiction, too!) where time travel allows for episodes where President George Washington appears one week, while the next week the American War for Independence is still being fought.
Regardless of how one might label this series, "Daniel Boone" is a show that has something for everyone!
