The Great Adventure (1963–1964)
10/10
I'm so glad others loved this show as I did.

I loved this show. Admittedly the only two episodes that I distinctly remember are first; the episode in which Lloyd Bridges was Wild Bill Hickok. I remember him in a shootout at night on the streets I believe of Abilene, Kansas, where he kills the "bad guy", but hears someone coming up behind him and turns and fires and he kills his deputy and one of the town folk yells out in disbelief, "He shot his own deputy." It was because Hickok's eyes were going bad and he was too vain to wear glasses. The other episode is the one about American Revolutionary spy Nathan Hale. I'll never forget as he was about to be hung by the British he said his famous last words. "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country." I don't remember the actors name, but to this day anytime I see him in anything else I always remember him as Nathan Hale. I too would love to see this show on TVland or on DVD. I think it would still hold up.
