A 90-minute weekly Western drama that ran for years? Say hello to The Virginian.

I’ve splashed into the vast catalog that is the FreeVee channel, and have now locked into what apparently was a very popular 1960’s era Western drama. One that aired over 270 episodes, each episode running (with commercials) for 90 minutes. A 90-minute Western drama. Why have I not heard of this before? Say hello to…
