For 50 years I've loved this show. Others will summarize what the show was about. To me it was about family. A family initially torn apart by events outside one man's control, Murdoch Lancer. A family pieced back together by that same man.
Andrew Duggan played Murdoch Lancer. A man who had built an empire single handedly. 100,000 acres. A legacy for the two sons who had been taken from him.
Johnny Madrid Lancer played by James Stacy gave us riveting performances each week. His talent in finding little things to add to each scene was amazing. A gunfighter who came home for the money and stayed because of family.
Scott Lancer played by Wayne Maunder. Fresh off the set of Custer, Wayne gave his character the military bearing and strength of leadership for the show. He acted as the peace maker between Murdoch and Johnny.
Teresa O'Brian played by Elizabeth Bauer was Murdoch's ward. Her father, the foreman of the ranch was killed in the first episode.
This wasn't Bonanza as some may have compared it to. This show, had it followed Sam Peeple's vision would have surpassed them all.
I can't say enough about Lancer. There is a worldwide fan base and hundreds of fan fiction stories written about the show and its characters. If you've never seen Lancer you've missed out on the best Western out there.
