68Worth an evening.

Number one for years of this decade. The ranch is a household, and that is why it lasted.

Pass it on

The review

For several seasons of this decade it was the number one show in the country, and the reason is plainer than the horses. A widower and three sons live on a ranch, and the episode is a problem that arrives at the door: a stranger, a claim, a son who is wrong, a neighbor who is scared. The father is not a joke and not a tyrant. The sons are different from each other without the difference being the whole character.

It is a western, so a gun is sometimes the answer, and a house should say so. The gun is not the premise. The premise is that these men come back to the same table. I would put an early episode on before a later one that has started to repeat the ride. Ask which son did the hard thing that was not the shooting. The country's Sunday night for years. The number is the table, not the rating.

Live Historic number 68. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

8
Industry
Cattle, fences, and the week's trouble are work, and the father assigns it.
8
Household
Three grown sons and a father are the premise, and the premise holds.
5
Piety
Grace at a table shows up often enough that the house is not only a set for a gun.
7
Courage
They ride out for a neighbor or a son, and the ride has a name and a reason.
6
Republic
The Ponderosa is land and a payroll. They owe the territory more than a feud.
6
Temperance
The week ends. The appetite for a fight is not the thing the house applauds.
6
Truth
A problem is usually what it looks like. The show does not need a twist to feel large.
8
Stewardship
A family can inherit a father who stays and sons who are not rivals for a woman.

Adventures of Superman

68Worth an evening.

A child can watch it, and the point is the restraint, not the strength.

Pass it on

The review

A child knew the opening, and it wasn't a Nielsen number one. Clark Kent works at a newspaper. When someone is in trouble he becomes Superman. Lois and Jimmy are the colleagues. Syndicated, and still everywhere. The public line is truth, justice, and the American way. A child can watch it.

The hero's restraint is the point. Strength that could serve the man is spent on the person in trouble. I'd leave it on and say that once, so a child doesn't only keep the strength. The newspaper is how he hears people. Plenty of heroes take the town as payment. The promise here is that he doesn't.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Consider this

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

78 instead of 68

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is still a adventure show, and it scores 78 instead of 68. What you gain is household: The brothers are the household.
