Review of Alias Smith and Jones

I loved this show when growing up and managed to recently get the entire series on DVD. Pete Duel was outstanding as Hannibal Hayes and his tragic suicide stopped a show at the peak of its success. Roger Davis stepped in but for me he was miscast and obviously others agree as the ratings dropped so the show didn't last much longer. The stories were entertaining, even after Duel's death, but the brilliant chemistry Murphy had with Duel was never the same with Davis. Looking at the show again after so long I found it has held up well and doesn't feel dated. For me it was a fine western comedy drama well worth watching if you get the chance.
