The production quality of this series was top notch in every way. The detailed sets, the on location scenes, the writing with compelling storytelling interweaving action, drama, and comedy, the talented cast and notable guest stars, catchy theme song by Percy Faith, the composition of the music scores for each episode all contributed to its 249 episode longevity. It was a big show for the small screen, but viewing on a big HDTV screen now makes it even more vibrant and entertaining. It does however take awhile, and a suspension of disbelief, to get used to the fact that no one the Virginian encounters or interacts with cares, or finds it unusual, that he doesn't have a name.
