The Rifleman (five seasons from 1958-1963) is now out on DVD. Marvin Olasky writes that it isn’t only a great western, but has a unique leading man. “Lucas McCain was also a compassionate conservative, supporting a recovering alcoholic who became a marshal, giving an ex-con a job on his ranch, and helping a man from China open a laundry. In one episode McCain could not believe that an old enemy had changed and become a doctor, but he admitted his mistake after the former adversary helped him in a gunfight.”
